Scripture Post #47: *TREASURE*

Matthew 6:
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 


Note: Jesus is speaking here. 

Jesus wants our hearts to be for Heaven or Heaven-ward. Because He said: "…Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven…for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Which basically means: "…Lay up for yourselves treasures [your heart] in heaven…" Because where your treasure is, your heart is also.

I remember Pastor Tony Brazelton preaching on this Scripture years ago. He would say things like: "Where your treasure (money) is, your heart is. Whatever you spend your money on, your heart goes out for, too. When you bought them expensive shoes you know your heart was in it. When you give money your heart is in it. Where your money is, your heart is."
