"'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.'
'Your eye is a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is good, your whole body is filled with light. But when your eye is bad, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is!'
'No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.'"
It's only possible to have one focus in life. To think otherwise is to be deluded. The focus will be either God's way, storing up eternal treasures, or the way of the world, living only for now and what this world can give. The latter is both temporary and subject to decay, corruption, and theft. Where is your focus, as evidenced by what you spend your time and energy doing? Your quality of life—here and in eternity—depends on your answer. Ask God for an eternal perspective on all you do, and let that perspective inform all you do
