What are you storing?
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also (Matthew 6:19-21). We’re pretty good, it seems, at storing things up…Last year we paid the US storage unit industry $40 billion so we could put our stuff into more than 2 billion square feet of storage floor space. Jesus, I think, has some words for us. These clothes that no longer fit and pieces of furniture and china from the previous generations and rusting exercise bikes and treadmills sit in their climate-controlled, dark, and silent cells, waiting for the day when they’ll finally be buried in the landfill, or maybe given to GoodWill. For where your treasure is, there you heart will be also. We’ve all been storing up in other areas of our lives during this past pandemic yea...
