“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
- Matthew 6:21
What is your most valued treasure?
Remove all mundane temporal things, the things you cannot take with you when you die, and what is left?
What happens when you live your whole life focused on the “treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal” (Matthew 6:19)?
Your heart, soul, and mind become neglected and poor.
Therefore, what is your most valued treasure?
Obviously not any treasures of the mundane, "but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal" (Matthew 6:20).
Where are these treasures in heaven found?
These treasures in heaven can be easily found in heaven on earth (Matthew 6:10), stored within the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), within the deepest parts of your purity of heart and soul.
Thus your most valued treasure besides your deepest connections to the Lord, loved ones, and Holy Spirit, is the most authentic you, the you the Lord created you to be, stored and expressed in the fruit of the Spirit within you.
If you care only for the treasures of the mundane, neglecting the treasures of heaven, then how would you ever live a spiritual life and defend yourself against sin and the temptations of Satan?
Moreover, would it have any effect to wear the Armor of the Lord without ever connecting to it or activating its protective holy light?
By keeping in step with the Spirit, we can live by the Spirit and have a heaven on earth (Galatians 5:25).
