Matthew 6:19-21 NLT
“Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.
**************************************
People don't really believe in heaven. Many people do believe in pensions, investment portfolios and savings accounts. Others believe in a good education or hard work and determination. But people don't believe in heaven. Some people believe in global warming, the effects of an eco-friendly life, their carbon footprint or saving the shark from extinction but they don't believe in heaven.
Do you really believe in heaven? Do you believe in God up above? Do you believe he rewards those who desire his kingdom more than the things in this world you can love?
Are you hoping to be comfortable, secure and well off because of your wisdom, your savings and shrewdness? Are you trusting in things of this world? Or have you set your heart upon heaven and believed in the promise of God? Have you put your hope in God's goodness and set your heart on things stored up above?
Be honest with yourself, does heaven fit in your plans?
