Please hold on a moment and think about something… I know that you are a busy person living in a busy world, who probably has to go to school or work day by day, and this takes away almost all your time… but how do you spend your free time? How do you use your talents and your money? What kind of treasures do you store up for yourself?
Think about the following:
Do you prefer reading the Bible?
Or do you prefer reading a novel (which is very often just an invented story)?
Do you prefer meditating about a Bible verse?
Or do you prefer meditating about what you read in the newspaper in the morning?
Do you prefer praying to the Almighty God?
Or do you prefer chatting with you friends?
Do you prefer going to church on Sunday morning?
Or do you prefer sleeping longer?
Do you prefer spending time with your spouse and kids?
Or do you prefer going out with your colleagues?
Do you prefer spending your money in helping poor people?
Or do you prefer buying for yourself more and more things which you do not need?
Do you prefer helping someone who is in need?
Or do you prefer saving your money?
Do you prefer going to visit someone who is in hospital and who needs maybe an encouragement from you?
Or do you prefer staying at home watching TV without being disturbed?
"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)
