treasure

The other day as I was sitting at a stop sign and an old beat-up car was coming down the road. I thought to myself, "man that's an old clunker, it must be a teenager driving it." I pulled out behind the car and noticed a bummer sticker that read "don't let the car fool you, my treasure is in heaven". What what conviction. I had to stop right there and ask God to forgive me for being so quick to judge and thank Him for allowing me to be confronted with that. Because of that bumper sticker, I was reminded of Matthew 6:19-20, "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." How wonderful it is to know that my treasure is not here on this earth. It isn't the clothes I wear, the house I live in, the car I drive, the job I have, my family, how I look or my health. My treasure is with the Lord in heaven and I take delight in that because, unlike all those things, it is something that can never be taken away!
