Luke 12: 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Jesus has told his disciples not to worry about earthly needs. He had them consider the sparrows and the hairs on their heads. God is capable of dealing with each and every one of these, so why shouldn't we trust Him to take care of us? We don't need to worry about material needs. God wants us to concern ourselves with the truly important parts of ourselves, the spiritual parts.
I have been surprised at the lack of interest I have had in material goods. I didn't shop much while I was in Florida, and the few things that I bought were for others. I don't want anything. I want my loved ones to be happy. I want health for those who suffer from illness and accidents. I want comfort for those who suffer emotionally. My treasure is less focused on acquiring goods.
Prayer: Lord, You know my heart and my needs. I trust You to provide for me. I will keep my heart on the things that really matter. Protect and comfort Your people, and let me know how I can further Your work on Earth.
Amen
