May our gracious Lord minister this bondage-breaking truth to our hearts and minds.
Matthew 6:19-33
| 19 | Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: |
| 20 | But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: |
| 21 | For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. |
| 22 | The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single [good], thy whole body shall be full of light. |
| 23 | But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! |
| 24 | No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon (see Luke 16:13-15). |
| 25 | Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? |
| 32 | (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. |
| 33 | But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. |
