The Heart of the Matter

Jesus made a comment about where you treasure lie should also be the place where your hearts resides He did not equivocate nor did He mix up His words He said exactly what He meant what He wanted heard for where you lay your treasures down the heart of your matter will also be found The heart is the most essential and sensitive thing that we possess that which keeps us living that which God did bless the heart of the matter what is your inner core? the heart of the matter what does God have for you in store? If you really want to know anything about a person's life you need to know if they value money or do they value Christ one way to get this knowledge is to look at their check stubs discover the heart of their matter find out what is their rub You can only serve one master you must choose and decide Jesus Christ of Mammon to whom will you abide? what do you value most? what do you hold dear? what do you consider your treasure? about what do you really care? In society today success is judged by only one measure it's not looks nor intelligence but monetary treasure it's about how much money you have it's all about the green but to the real powers that be money doesn't mean a thing It's not about the Benjamins it's not about the cash it's about the morals on mankind going to hell and how long will it last we need to come together and discover the real heart of the matter that God is the true measure not the rich whose pockets get fatter God is the Creator He will provide you with everything just don't serve the demon money it's God who truly reigns Yes, all you see and behold does belongs to the Lord God we're only stewards to serve Him and hold Him in the highest regards The real heart of the matter is what is your measure? Is it serving God and receiving His eternal treasure? or is it money the root of all evil that many see as a tool that Satan utilizes to make people act like fools? God may look upon money as a sacrifice to His throne so tithe to His kingdom as a measure to atone The Lord only asks that you give Him just ten percent have no fear trust in HIm and don't worry about paying the rent for He will open the windows of heaven and overfill your treasure chest just give Him His first and He will prove you not with the rest the real heart of the matter is that you just give God His due for He made a greater sacrifice when His Son Jesus died for you
