Treasures in Heaven

Matthew 6:19-21
   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.

In light of Bible Land's understanding these verses mean:
"Do not let your thoughts be centered in material things (such as food, clothing, money, and homes) where fears and worries breed defeat and frustration and where doubts break through and steal your thoughts. But let your thoughts be centered on God and spiritual things, where neither fear nor worry breeds defeat and frustration, and where doubts do not break through and steal your thoughts. For where your thoughts are, there will your heart be also."

There are several figures of speech used in these verses. In Bible Land's understanding: "Treasures" are "thoughts." "Heaven" represents the place where God is. It is the "spiritual realm." The "moth" is fear that eats away our thoughts. "Rust" is worry that corrodes our thoughts. "Corrupt" means to breed. "Thieves" are doubts.

God has promised to supply all of our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. We simply need to keep our thoughts centered on God and His Word.
