For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:21

 

What’s on your mind throughout the day? I’m sure like most people, you have a special hobby, project or relationship you are working on that consumes your mind and time. Those things are great, but they shouldn’t affect other areas of your life, like family, work, other relationship, especially the one you have with Jesus Christ.

 

God gives each of us talents and abilities to use for His glory. No matter what you enjoy doing, it’s always best to keep God front and center of the activity and relationship so you won’t find yourself unbalanced in other areas of life. I have had to learn this lesson on many occasions, and it’s difficult at times, but important to always surround yourself with the thoughts of God. His Holy Spirit will show you when things get out of kilter and need to be brought back into alignment with His will and purpose for your life.

 

Next time your mind goes off on a journey, put Jesus in the driver’s seat so you’ll make sure your heart is in the right place. People depend upon you for stability, keep things balanced with your hopes and dreams and you’ll find the things that occupy your thoughts more pleasing to you and God. Blessings!
