Where is your treasure?

What you value most is your treasure. Where you spend your time and your money is your treasure. Whatever dominates your conversation is what you treasure. What others know you for is a good indication of what your treasure is (Luke 12:34).


Most Christians are quick to claim that God is their first priority. Yet often their actions reveal that their treasure is not God but to what is in the world. Some Christians find it difficult to discuss their relationship with God, but they can chatter easily about their family, friends, or hobbies. Some find it impossible to get up early in order to spend time with God, but they willingly get up at dawn to pursue a hobby. Some find it difficult to contribute their money to God but readily spend lavishly on recreation. Some boldly approach strangers to sell a product, yet they are unbelievably timid in telling others about their Savior. Some give hundreds of hours to serve in volunteer organizations but feel they have no time available to serve God.


If you are unsure of where your treasure is, examine where you spend your available time and money. Reflect on what it is you most enjoy thinking about and discussing. Ask your friends to tell you what they think is most important to you. Ask your children to list what is most valuable to you. It may surprise you to know what others consider to be your treasure.
