I believe one of the obstacles in our lives today as Christians is our vision. We have set our vision on mundane achievements such that our whole bodies have become corrupted with the "darkness" that it brings. The demands of society, family and friends have moulded our goals and mindsets, deviating them from the divine goal. In Matthew 6:19-24, Jesus tackles an age old issue which is extremely relevant today; the desire for worldly treasure. He ends His speech, with a very poignant comment: " You cannot serve both God and money"
Today the Lord is drawing our minds to the fact that our motivation/drive in this life, should be the attainment of heavenly treasures - eternal life, relationship with the Father, the Kingdom of God... etc. We live in the world, but we are not of it. May our hearts be set on the treasures of heaven.
