Sometimes we get so caught up with getting on financial track, we let more important things go by the wayside.

It’s good (and biblical) to pay off debt and plan for the future, but we’re still commanded to store our greatest treasures in heaven, not in a bank account.

Jesus says our heart will be where our treasure is. And I think there is a plethora of ways to focus our hearts on that which is eternal. It’s not always about grand gestures; the little things really do count.

2. Introduce yourself to a visitor or an unfamiliar face at church.

“Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.” Matthew 6:19-21, NLT
