As we read or listen to the news today, it doesn’t take long to become uncomfortable with the condition of the economy and the uncertainty the world is facing. The timeless the words of Jesus from Matthew 6:19-21 are an excellent reminder of where our priorities should be. So many have placed everything they have ever worked for into the hands of men to manage and are now facing the prospect of not being able to retire because they allowed their future to be stolen from them. These people forgot to put their heart into something that cannot be destroyed or taken and are now left empty.

How can we store our treasure in heaven? Paul gives the answer in 1 Timothy 6:17-19. Serving the Lord in good works and using that which he blessed us with to that end. Storing our treasure in heaven is the only safe investment we have and the Lord has promised we will not be left wanting if we seek Him Matthew 6:31-33.

³¹Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

 ³²(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

 ³³But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
