Sep 18 -Treasures on earth

Today's ODB is again from Matthew Chapter 6 (third time this month!), yet from a different angle and look at "treasures".

"Treasures" means wealth in the form of gold, silver or jewels, or things you keep or consider as precious. What is most precious to us ? Perhaps these days, it's no longer just gold or silver or materials things, but rather, our concern for health, our crave for nice food, our recognition at work or ministries, our "life-style", our beloved ones or kids...etc. whatever that capture our hearts. We must come to realise that nothing on earth can satisfy us, except for God Himself.

Let's continue to practice "wait before the Lord" daily and enjoy His presence in our hearts!

19 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
