Transcript
- 0:02Welcome to Faithful Friday.
- 0:03Today we'll spend a few moments in scripture, reflection, and prayer.
- 0:08If you are driving or unable to pause right now, simply listen and come back to this reflection later when you can give it your full attention.
- 0:16Today's scripture comes from the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 6, verses 19 through 24.
- 0:24Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break in and steal.
- 0:31But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
- 0:38For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
- 0:44The eye is the lamp of the body, so if your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is not sound, your whole body will be full of darkness.
- 0:54If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness?
- 0:59No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other.
- 1:07You cannot serve God and mammon.
- 1:14The reflection for today is where is my heart investing its treasure?
- 1:21I'm going to invite you now to pause this recording, spend a few moments talking with God about what you heard, ask him what he wants you to understand, where he is calling you to
- 1:30grow, and what steps he wants you to take next.
- 1:33When you're ready, come back and we'll close together in prayer.
- 1:42Welcome back.
- 1:42Let's pray the prayer that Jesus taught us.
- 1:46Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
- 1:56Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
- 2:09Amen.
- 2:11As you go into your day and weekend, carry this scripture with you.
- 2:14Ask yourself, where do you see God showing up in your life?
- 2:18Thank you for joining me for Faithful Friday.
- 2:21I'll see you next week.
