🗡🛡 GOD'S WORD - Matthew 6:19-21 KJV
“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”

⚔️ Treasure is what we desire in heart and are willing to sacrifice for.
Our heart is our inner person who will treasure or serve a master.
We may have some treasures in this life, but we should be content/delighted/satisfied/at peace with God being our ultimate treasure, passion, and focus.
We cannot ultimately serve God and something or someone else at the same time.
God is a treasure that can bless us, and so is Satan, but we have to choose which master we will serve.
God is a treasure that can take care of everything we need, even when we don't ask, we just have to seek and desire Him first and most of all.
Jesus Christ is an invaluable gift that God has given to us that we should treasure and be content with, because God gives us all things through Him.
So, let's be content with what a treasure God is in our lives; His Son Jesus Christ, His love, His salvation, His blessings, His righteousness, His correction, His promises, His will, His Word, His protection, His providence, His reward, and His Heaven.

Some people may discriminate, but life doesn't! Life is RHF-pronounced rough (Relationships, Health, and Finances) without Christ Jesus. He is the answer or help that we all need! So, let's all turn from sin to God through Jesus Christ the Lord, and watch Him save, bless, reward us, in this life and in the next, as we continue to hear and obey His Word!
