The phrase “lay up” means “give priority to”, so this Bible Verse for St. Patrick’s Day is about our priorities. Is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow what you long for? Is finding a lucky four leaf clover the desire of your heart?
God’s priorty is always our heart and what we store in it. And these words of Jesus teach us to store God’s priorities in it. As Christians, our heart should reflect the light of Jesus to the world. And our priortiy should be to build a relationship with Him.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Be blessed and have a fun holiday!
This verse really speaks to me this week. We’re doing a marriage study at church and discussed this verse in regards to the question of what we treasure most. Does our treasure have to do with God’s Kingdom or the Kingdom of Self? Such a great verse…and great question to ask in regards to the verse. Blessings…
Hi Amy! I’m so glad you could stop by. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this verse. I love hearing how God speaks to each of us through His word. Always amazing! Many blessings to you!
