Friday – March 13
Scripture: Matthew 6:19–21
“Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Jesus invites examination—not guilt, but clarity.
Treasure is not only money. It is
attention. Energy. Affection. Anxiety.
What occupies your imagination when you wake? What do you defend instinctively? What loss would undo you?
Lent gently exposes misplaced treasure.
Earthly treasure promises security but delivers fragility. Heavenly treasure—justice, mercy,
reconciliation—endures.
This is not a rejection of material life. It is a re-ordering of priorities.
The Church must ask this corporately as well. What do we protect? Buildings? Reputation? Comfort? Or do we invest boldly in compassion,
inclusion, and service?
Hearts follow treasure.
If we want hearts shaped by Christ, we must invest where Christ invests.
Reflection Questions
- What does my time reveal about my
treasure?
- Where might I redirect energy
toward God’s kingdom?
- How does generosity reshape
desire?
