Subject: Where is your treasure?

(definition of)"treasure" - (Webster's 1828 Dictionary) - "Something very much valued."

"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Luke 12:34 (KJV)

"There are many devices in a man's heart. The heart (can be) deceitful above all things. Every imagination of the heart (can be) evil continually. (However it can also be) honest and good ... (our heart may be) a heavy heart, (in which we may have) sorrow of heart; (we may have) a proud heart, (or) a pure heart. The heart (sometimes) fails in adversity or under discouragement, that is, courage fails; the heart (can be) deceived, enlarged, reproved, lifted up, fixed, established, (or) moved ... " (Web. 1828)

"heart" (Web. 1828) - " - the primary organ of the blood's motion ... by which means the circulation is carried in and life is preserved. - The inner part of anything; the middle part or interior. - The chief part; the vital part. - The vigorous and efficacious part - ( "efficacious" (Web. 1828) - "effectual; producing the effect intended ) - (the heart is ...) the seat of the affections and passions, as of love, joy, grief, enmity, courage, pleasure ... - The seat of understanding. - The seat of the will; hence, secret purposes, intentions or designs."

"seek" (Web 1828) - "To go in search or quest of; to look for. - To endeavor. - To seek after (by reaching with an effort to obtain).

"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. - The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, the whole body shall be full of light. - But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkeness. - No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. - Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body more than rainment? - Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? - Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? - And why take ye thought for rainment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: - And yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. - Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? - Therefore, take not thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? - (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for you heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. - But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
