The Bible says, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21). This scripture has been on my heart very heavily today, particularly because of some of the opportunities that have come knocking at my door. Taking advantage of them would require me to compromise and abandon my principles in exchange for gain.
And I won’t do it.
I love God too much. He means everything to me. I can’t imagine deliberately doing something that would bring shame to His name and undermine the message of the Kingdom. There’s a scripture that’s very dear to me found in Psalm 119:11 and it says, “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.“ The New American Standard translation says, “Your word I have treasured in my heart…” I love that interpretation because it points out the importance of valuing God’s word and holding it in our hearts as treasure.
Today I ask, Where is your heart?
The answer is determined by where your treasure is.
That’s why I encourage you to get lost in your love for God. Let your heart and mind be fixed on fulfilling His will. And always find yourself wrapped up in His word. This will keep you fixated on, fascinated with, and focused on your love walk with Christ.
That way, when the enemy comes to steal your heart away, it’ll be too wrapped up in God’s word for Satan’s plan to succeed.
Today’s Prayer: God, let me always love and treasure Your word, so that it will be my guiding light and the determining factor in all the affairs of my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
