Talk Tuesday -Your Treasure

Do you often ponder life and wonder what it's all about? We rise early, go to work, come home and prepare for the next day. It is a cycle that is an integral part of life, but it is not life itself. We live in an age where materialism has been elevated to a god-like status. We work to survive but are some of us living to work? What is your main focus- your treasure?

Jesus says this in Matthew 6:20-21

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

If Jesus is your treasure, then even daily, mundane tasks can take on new meaning.

Colossians 3:23

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men"

We can let our light shine-the light of Jesus Christ in our hearts- so as to give testimony to His love, presence and goodness in our lives. We are called to be the salt of the earth, making those around us thirst for the living water that Jesus promised. In John 8:12 Jesus says,

"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

Brothers and sisters, be encouraged in the Lord as you walk daily with Him. Keep Him at the center of your lives so that even the mundane things can take on new meaning and bring glory to Him. Be blessed!
