Prioritize Heavenly Treasures</b><p>In a world that often emphasizes material wealth, <a href="/matthew/6-19.htm">Matthew 6:19-20</a> reminds us to "store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal." This lesson encourages us to focus on eternal values rather than temporary possessions. By investing in acts of kindness, love, and faith, we build a treasure trove that lasts forever.<p><b>2. Seek God's Kingdom First</b><p><a href="/matthew/6-33.htm">Matthew 6:33</a> is a powerful call to action: "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you." This verse teaches us to prioritize our relationship with God above all else. When we align our lives with His will, everything else falls into place, providing peace and purpose.<p><b>3. The Power of Prayer</b><p>Prayer is a direct line to our Creator, and <a href="/matthew/6-9.htm">Matthew 6:9-13</a> provides the perfect model with the Lord's Prayer. It begins with acknowledging God's holiness and ends with seeking His guidance and protection. This lesson emphasizes the importance of regular, heartfelt communication with God, which strengthens our faith and aligns our desires with His.<p><b>4. The Secret of Generosity</b><p><a href="/matthew/6-3.htm">Matthew 6:3-4</a> advises, "But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret." This teaches us that true generosity is not about recognition but about genuine love and compassion. When we give quietly, we reflect God's selfless love and receive His blessings in return.<p><b>5. Trust in God's Provision</b><p>Worry can consume us, but <a href="/matthew/6-26.htm">Matthew 6:26</a> offers reassurance: "Look at the birds of the air: they do not sow or reap or gather into barns—and yet your heavenly Father feeds them." This lesson encourages us to trust in God's provision. Just as He cares for the birds, He will provide for our needs, freeing us from anxiety and fear.<p><b>6. The Light of the Body</b><p><a href="/matthew/6-22.htm">Matthew 6:22-23</a> speaks of the eye as the lamp of the body. "If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light." This metaphor teaches us to focus on what is pure and righteous. By filling our lives with God's truth and love, we illuminate our path and influence others positively.<p><b>7. The Futility of Worry</b><p><a href="/matthew/6-27.htm">Matthew 6:27</a> poses a thought-provoking question: "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?" This lesson highlights the futility of worry and encourages us to trust in God's timing and plan. By surrendering our concerns to Him, we find peace and clarity in His perfect will.<p><b>8. The Importance of Forgiveness</b><p>Forgiveness is a cornerstone of Christian living, and <a href="/matthew/6-14.htm">Matthew 6:14-15</a> underscores its significance: "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you." This lesson teaches us that forgiving others opens the door to receiving God's forgiveness, fostering healing and reconciliation in our relationships.<p><b>9. The Simplicity of Fasting</b><p>Fasting is a spiritual discipline that draws us closer to God. <a href="/matthew/6-17.htm">Matthew 6:17-18</a> advises, "But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that your fasting will not be obvious to men." This lesson emphasizes the personal and humble nature of fasting, focusing on spiritual growth rather than outward appearances.<p><b>10. Living for Today</b><p><a href="/matthew/6-34.htm">Matthew 6:34</a> offers a profound reminder: "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." This lesson encourages us to live in the present, trusting God with our future. By focusing on today, we can fully embrace His blessings and opportunities, making each moment count.</div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center"><br><br><a href="index.html">Bible Hub Top 10 Lists</a><br><span class="p"><br /><br /></span></div></div></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="lessons_from_matthew_5.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Lessons from Matthew 5"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Lessons from Matthew 5" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="lessons_from_matthew_7.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Lessons from Matthew 7"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Lessons from Matthew 7" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> <br /><br /> </div><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchapnoad.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
