Do not store up treasures....

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal." Matthew 6:19-20


It is so hard to not get caught up in the things of this world. We rely on cars to get us place to place, ovens to cook our food, new things to go together smoothly.... and so on. But, when an oven doesn't work past a certain temperature and a car needs repairs, frustration can creep in.

I forget that these are just "things". They are not eternal.

The verses in Matthew bring me back to God's plan, not my own; placing my thoughts on eternal things.. That is what matters...
