A – Money is often the main association when it comes to treasure. (Financial wealth was the focus of the verses before this). Treasure goes beyond wealth. It is anything you center your life around and pursue. Anything can be our treasure – family, business, relationships, health – can also be prominent in our lives. And, they are all good things as is finances. The tough question is “Are they more important than a relationship with God?” God must be first and everything else falls beneath Him.
R – Heavenly Father, you are Jehovar Jireh, our provider. Help us to trust you to provide for all of the things in our lives that we need. You promise to do this. We do not have to be anxious about when or where your provision will come. Your love us and will give us what we need today.
