—Matthew 6:16-21

What is the dearest item you possess? A relationship? Your house? Car? Pictures? Money? Clothes/shoes? Your title? Some type of collection? Your pride? How would you feel if it were destroyed? Jesus warned about pride—wanting to show off that you fast so that people will think you are so holy—and treasuring earthly objects excessively. When we are too attached to these things, our priorities become distorted. Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness” (Matthew 6:33, KJV). This is the only treasure worthy of our attention.
