Where is your heart???

Matthew 6:21 - For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Where is your heart??? As you go about the course of your day where do you find your focus is it on positive things or is it focused on the cares of this life, bills, many disappointments? If your focus is not on what the Most High could teach you through your daily walk, I hate to say but you're off track. The Most High has not put any situation in our life for us to just complete the task without realizing the value or the lesson. You shouldn't be tied to anything on this earth. Remember Lots wife?

 Gen 19:17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:20 Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.21 And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

So many have speculated about why she turned around, why she looked back, what was behind her that she could not focus on what lay ahead? She had left family, a home, her life behind her. She was not heeding the instructions she had been given by The angel.  It boiled down to rebellion.  Instead of focusing on the safety that lay before her she lost her life being tied to the past.

Is your focus on obedience? Is your focus on Kingdom Work?  

Philippians 3:13Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded:
