Earthly possessions are temporary, but heavenly treasures are eternal. Jesus teaches us to invest our lives in things that have everlasting value. Every act of obedience, love, and faithful service done for Christ is stored up in heaven. Live each day with eternity in view rather than temporary gain. Scriptural Readings for the Day Matthew 6:19-21 (KJV) “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Colossians 3:1-2 (KJV) “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.” Prayer Father, keep my heart from becoming attached to the temporary things of this world. Teach me to lay up treasures in heaven through a life of faithful service and obedience. Amen.
