Where is Our Heart? What do we consider to be of great importance in our lives? Often times we chase things that provides false security. When we spend our time and efforts on things that are false, we become false ourselves. This is a scary reality to be faced with because as sinners, we love many worthless things. How often does your heart turn almost irresistibly towards the love of money, or power, or lust, or laziness, or apathy? We are much more content sitting in front of a TV than we are meditating on God’s word. We pursue worthlessness, and become worthless. Thus says the LORD: “What wrong did your fathers find in me that they went far from me, and went after worthlessness, and became worthless.” ~Jeremiah 2:5 But there is good news on the flip-side is that the same truth—you become what your treasure is—works the opposite way too. “We all, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into His likeness, from one degree of glory to the next.” “When we see Him, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.” The more we set our hearts on Jesus, the more we seek the things that are above, the more we will be transformed into His likeness. If you want to become more like Jesus in your daily life, the recipe for transformation is simple: treasure Him. Psalm 27:4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
