thoughts in my head

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

I have a few thoughts bouncing around in my head from our sermon on Sunday, maybe "writing" them will help me process them...

Our pastor said something to this effect...whatever you give to effortlessly, that is your "god." It, hopefully, would be the one, true God. But, more often, it is to ourselves - our clothes, our schooling, our home, etc. What is it that I give to without thinking twice about it? This not only applies to money...but also to our time. I'll spend countless hours reading books or talking to friends (well, like I have countless hours to do that! but i would if i could) or on the computer...but do I spend countless hours talking to my Father? or reading His Word? I'm convicted and desire my heart to be in a different place. Yes, I could spend more time reading the Bible out of "obligation" or even obedience...but I want to do it because I can't keep myself from NOT doing it.
