What’s Most Important

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Matthew 6:21 Many times in life we are asked the question, “What’s most important to us?” For Christians, we normally hear things like: God, our relationship to our Savior, doing God’s will, my family, etc. This question also requires us to look at where we are spending our time. Many times in my own life, when I weighed what I thought was most important to where I spent my time and energy, they were not the same. This led me to believe that I knew what
should be the most important thing, but, in reality, it was not.
This scripture states that our treasure and heart will be in the same place. What we spend our time thinking about and our energy doing is what is most important in our lives. From the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. The things that we talk about are the things that are in our hearts. This is an indication of where our treasure is. Our lives are like a garden: we produce what has been planted. If the most important things in life are not where our treasure is, then we can change. We can refocus. If we have not made God’s will and direction in our life the treasure, then we can by turning our will and our way over to Him. If we begin to plant the things of God in our lives and in the lives of our families, this will bring us not only in focus with God’s plan, but will move our heart into a right relationship with God. Our heart and our treasure will then be put into the center of God’s will. By putting God first in our lives and seeking His will and direction, everything else will become a right priority: our relationship with our family, our relationship with God, and our relationship with the things of this world. In my life I must periodically examine where my time is spent so that I may know if I am keeping the number one thing the number one thing.
Where is your heart? What is your treasure? Do your time and actions balance with your treasure? What is most important?
