So what does it mean to seek treasure in heaven? I think the Christian group King & Country come pretty close to defining it in "Fix My Eyes":
Love like I'm not scared
Give when it's not fair
Live life for another
Take time for a brother
Fight for the weak ones
Speak out for freedom
Find faith in the battle
Stand tall but above it all
Fix my eyes on You
On You
What has captured your heart today? We settle for the cheap imitations when the vast good of heaven is offered to us. Listen to C.S. Lewis in THE WEIGHT OF GLORY:
We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and
sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant
child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he
cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at sea.
We are far too easily pleased.
I'm going to go see if I can't give a few things away. How about you?
For further study: Deu. 6:5, 1 Sam. 16:7, Job 22:21-22, Psalm 119:11, Proverbs 4:20-23, Isaiah 33:6, Jonah 2:8, Luke 6:45, Col. 2:2-3, Hebrews 11:24-26.
Be blessed in your understanding of God's word.
Love,
