“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth.”
(Matthew 6:19, 12-19-13)

I feel myself pull back from this verse, unwilling to face it head on, looking at it, as it were, from the side. Why? Because I want to store up treasures on earth. I want the nice house, the cool vacation, the big bank accounts. (Yes, plural.) I want the newest, coolest toys and I’m jealous of those who have them or even could if they chose.

[Father, forgive me and help me take the next step of contentment in finding my total satisfaction in you.]
