05/02/20 YOUR TREASURE AND YOUR HEART—David “StringBean” Akeman was a regular comedian at the Grand Ole Opry and on the Hee-Haw TV show. One of his frequent routines began, “Got a letter from my folks today. Yep… Got it right here next to my heart… heart… heart… heart.” Searching in every pocket he finally finds the letter in his wallet pocket! His letter/“heart” was where his wallet/“treasure” was.

          In Matthew 6:19-21 (CSB) Jesus says, “Don’t store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves don’t break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

          How serious are YOU about serving God? Maybe you just need to look at your checkbook, wallet or purse. Those might be pretty good indicators of where your treasure is?
