Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. (Matthew 6:19-24)

I Won’t Do That—Will I Make the Best Kind of Investments?

Matthew 6:19-24

Take a few moments and reflect upon these words from Jesus.

· What does Jesus teach about His disciples’ appropriate relationship to money and possessions in this passage?

· What might our handling of our resources communicate about our commitment to God’s kingdom and righteousness?

· According to Jesus, how can we make the best kinds of investments? What might that kind of investment strategy look like where we live?

Prayerfully commit your treasure to the God who entrusted it to you.
