“It is good for me to be with the Lord and to put my hope in him.”
Ps. 73, 28

The readings this weekend are all surrounding one question, “Where is you treasure?”  Whatever/wherever your hopes and desires are, there is your treasure, and the reward it gives.  Where do you place your dreams? What do you receive from them?

Leading up to Sunday, the readings this week were all about the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt.  The Lord kept caring for them and they continued to turn away.  They betrayed Him many times over and put their faith in unreal idols.  But, God continued to be their rescuer.  You would think they would learn after awhile where the help kept coming from.  Just like you think that we would learn from where our help flows.

St. Augustine says in his famous quote “Our hearts are restless, Lord, until the rest in thee.”  We chase so many goals and dreams in our life.  Some we reach and some fade away.  If we first seek the love and comfort of our God, the goals turn into gifts and the dreams turn into thanksgiving.

So, as the Israelites could have made their journey so much easier on themselves, let us rest our hearts in Him and find the treasure that will feed us always.
