Read: Luke 12:22-34

Where is yourtreasure?

你的心在哪里？ 

Where your treasureis, there your heart will be also. Luke 12:34 

你们的财宝在哪里，你们的心也在那里。-路加福音12章34节

Whencommuting into Chicago on the train, I always followed the “unwritten codes ofconduct”—such as, no conversations with people sitting next to you if you don’tknow them. That was tough on a guy like me who has never met a stranger. I lovetalking to new people! Although I kept the code of silence, I realized that youcan still learn something about people based on the section of the newspaperthey read. So I’d watch to see what they turned to first: The business section?Sports? Politics? Current events? Their choices revealed their interests.

每回搭火车到芝加哥的途中，我都谨守一些不成文的规定，例如：不要跟坐在旁边不认识的人聊天。对我这种不怕生的人来说，这实在很辛苦，因为我就是喜欢跟不同的人打交道！但是，后来我发现即使不和人交谈，还是可以从人们选择阅读报纸的哪一版面来认识他们。所以我会留意他们最先翻到哪一版，是财经版？体育版？政治版？还是社会版？这些选择泄露了他们的喜好。

Ourchoices are always revealing. Of course, God doesn’t need to wait to see ourchoices in order for Him to know what’s in our hearts. But the things thatoccupy our time and attention are telling. As Jesus said, “Where your treasureis, there your heart will be also” (Luke 12:34). Regardless of what we want Himto think of us, the true condition of our heart becomes clear based on how weuse our time, our money, and our talents. When we invest these resources in thethings He cares about, then it reveals that our hearts are in tune with His.

我们的选择可以显明许多事。当然，上帝不需要先看我们的选择，才知道我们心里在想什么，但是我们把时间和精神投注在哪里，就可以显示我们在乎的是什么。如同耶稣说：「你们的财宝在哪里，你们的心也在那里」（路加福音12章34节）。不论我们希望自己在上帝眼中保留怎样的形象，我们如何使用时间、金钱和才能，都会反映内心最真实的光景。当我们把这一切都投注在上帝所看重的事上，才是以上帝的心为心。

God’s heart is with the needs ofpeople and the advancement of His kingdom. What do your choices tell Him andothers about where your heart is? 

上帝关心人的需要，以及上帝国度的扩张。你的选择是否让上帝和他人知道你的心在哪里？

 Prayer 祷告：

Lord, I want my heart to be intune with Yours. Forgive me for giving it to things of far less value, andteach me the joy of investing my time in opportunities to serve You. Thank You.

主啊，愿我能以基督的心为心。求祢赦免我，因我总是让次要的事物占据我的心。求祢教导我，让我明白善用时间、把握机会服事祢，是何等喜乐。
