(51) Treasures In Heaven
Matthew 6:19-34
[19]“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. [20]But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. [21]For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
[22]“The eye is the light of the body. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. [23]But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. So if the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
[24]“No man can serve two masters; for he will either hate the one and love the other, or hold to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.
[25]“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothes?
[26]“Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? [27]Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? [28]And why do you worry about cloths? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They neither toil nor spin; [29]and yet, I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. [30]Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and thrown into the oven tomorrow, will He not clothe you far greater, O you of little faith? [31]So don’t worry and say, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ [32]For the Gentiles seek after all these things. Your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. [33]But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. [34]Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for it will have its own problems. Today has enough trouble of its own.”
(51) Treasures In Heaven
Matthew 6:19-34, KJV
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! 24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
