But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven . . . for
where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. (Matthew 6:20-21)
Very few people are satisfied with earthly riches. Often
the richer the man the greater the poverty. Somebody has said that getting
riches brings care; keeping them brings trouble; abusing them brings guilt; and
losing them brings sorrow.
It is a great mistake to make so much of riches as we do.
But there are some riches that we cannot praise too much: that never pass away.
They are the treasures laid up in heaven for those who truly belong to God.
