Where is Your Treasure?

44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. 46 When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it. (Matthew 13:44-46)

Where is your treasure?
There are many things that we pour our time and resources into.
Often times our focus and priority becomes ourselves.
Our purpose and fulfillment becomes dependent on our own gratification and pleasure.
We seek after earthly treasure thinking that it will bring joy and contentment.

If God is our treasure, what a great treasure we have!
It is too much to count! It is bountiful, like a feast. There are gourmet meals and scrumptious treats spread out on the table before us. It's a banquet table that never ends. There is food as far as the eye can see!

Best of all, our focus is shifted upward and off of ourselves.
Now God can bless us and bless others through us.
Now He can bring us to the place where it matters less and less what our plan was, and matters more and more what His plan is.

So seek the treasure of the Kingdom of God and see for yourself how great it's value is.
