Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
I had been thinking about this scripture as it pertains to financial and economic issues. Another way to look at it, however, is from a healthy living standpoint. "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." It cannot be good for the health of one's heart to submit it to the stress we sometimes feel about our personal financial situation or the national economic and political problems our country confronts. On the other hand, it may well be that laying one's treasure up in heaven is a thoroughly loving and healthy way to treat one's heart.
