A Daily Devotion for Tuesday, November 7

Matthew 6:21

"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

When I read this verse, I thought right away of our children. The family Tom and I have been blessed with is where my heart lives. It is not at all that we are perfect, or our children are perfect, or that we never have issues or concerns. But the love! I think Jesus was warning people to watch what they coveted, because it ultimately will become clear (and already is clear to God) if your heart is bound up in shallow or sinful things. There may still be some places my heart goes which are not worthy of the honor (games on phone, eating lots of junk, wasting time, etc.). There is always some cleaning up that can be done.

Holy Lord, help me to keep my heart away from things which do not honor you. My heart is yours. Amen
