Treasures are still found in sunken ships, buried under water and in the sand...some of these treasures have survived the conditions of time, but most do not...the rust, corrosion and erosion by the elements turns treasure to trash over time. What was once a prized possession now is valueless. As much as the things we desire on this earth may look shiny and bright, have great value to our lives or great buying power, they are of little value in the grand scheme of life, have no eternal value. They won't last forever. And if theses things hold our heart, they have no exchange in heaven. Treasures are not the issue, it is our heart's value placed on treasure over truth. What do you treasure? Where is your heart?
““Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Matthew 6:19-21 NKJV
