Devotional Message:
(Matthew 6:21)
"Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

👁 Observation: The True Location of the Heart

Jesus didn’t say, “Where your heart is, your treasure will follow.” He said the opposite. Why? Because our hearts follow what we treasure.
Whatever we value most—whatever we protect, rely on, and revolve our decisions around—that’s where our heart ends up.

Ezra didn’t worship money with candles or offerings. But he placed his security, his emotional peace, and his future in that drawer. It became his anchor, his hidden altar.
This verse in Matthew isn’t just about money—it’s about what captures your loyalty. For some, it’s success. For others, it’s a relationship, reputation, or possession.

God is not against planning or saving. What He’s against is replacing Him with created things that can't truly secure us. When we treasure something more than Him, our hearts slowly drift in that direction, and we stop hearing His voice.

2. Examine What You Talk About Most

|| Example: If your biggest daily excitement is your phone notifications or your online following, consider whether that’s where your heart now lives.

3. Test What Happens When It's Threatened

If something is taken away or blocked
