where is your treasure?

It's good for me to be reminded of the important things. I just came across a great post from Lukas Naugle, the Director of Resource Strategies at Desiring God. I've found as a musician that it's deceptively easy to get wrapped up in treasuring music gear (guitars, amps, effects, etc.). In a way I'm thankful that God allowed me to buy my cheap guitar back in college, that a guy in a bible study I led accidentally chipped a piece off of the headstock, and that my guitfiddle has continued to be a decent sounding economical workhorse. It's a reminder to me that there isn't a lot that I need in order to worship and serve God - in fact, the only thing I absolutely need is the blood of Christ. This topic is also a reminder to me that our lives should strongly reflect the truth of where our treasure resides. This should be evident and palpable to the world around us.

In his post that I mentioned, Lukas points us to Matthew 6:19-20. Also check out Luke 12:33-34 and Hebrews 11:23-26. So, where is your treasure and is it evident?
