All of our lives, whether we realize it or not, we have been trained to seek treasure. We chase a dollar, we seek promotion, we invest to make more, we build accounts of cash flow so that we can know for sure we will be "taken care of" later in life. However, Jesus warns us against that kind of dependency on ourselves. He calls it treasure storing here on earth. As he often does, Jesus challenges our conventional wisdom to remind us where all things come from, how all that overflow that comes our way is God's blessing us for a purpose. His blessings are given in overflow so that we may share those blessings with others. Today's message will challenge all of us, to see ourselves as God's managers of His overflow, and agents of His kindness and generosity to those around us. In doing so, we find our treasure in Him, a trust that finds confidence in His abundance, not our own.
