Crave for heavenly things!

We still in the Sermon on the Mount and Jesus today is teaching His listeners the difference between earthly treasure and heavenly treasure. He makes it clear that the heavenly treasures are more important: “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:19–21). Whatever we focus on dictates our actions. When we focus on earthly success and wealth, we will expend our energies on earthly matters. However, when we focus on God’s priorities, our actions will reflect different priorities—and our reward in heaven will last forever. Let God be the treasure of our heart!
