Treasure
Today's Reading:
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
Matthew 6:19-21
My Prayer:
Father in heaven, set my eyes upon your work, lead me to opportunities where I can invest in your kingdom. Help me to resist the desire to collect things on this earth that are temporary.

Practice Truth
Today's reading:
John 3:19-21 Now this is the basis for judging: that the light has come into the world and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil. 3:20 For everyone who does evil deeds hates the light and does not come to the light, so that their deeds will not be exposed. 3:21 But the one who practices the truth comes to the light, so that it may be plainly evident that his deeds have been done in God.
My Prayer:
Lord help me to focus on your truth and lead me away from darkness so that I may be known as one who hates the darkness and seeks to share your light with the world.
