He tells us in <strong>Matthew 6:20<\/strong>, <em>Store up for yourselves&nbsp;treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal<\/em> (NASB). Take careful note: Who are we supposed to be storing up these treasures for? It is not God and it is not for others, but \u201cfor yourself.\u201d Every time you give something away on earth, that same amount is credited to your heavenly account. The more you give, the more treasures in heaven! Incredible! And because this is true, you are never really giving anything away, you are simply transferring it into a different account \u2013 your heavenly account. <strong><em>Think about it<\/em><\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stewardshiplibrary.com\/matthew-5-16\/\">Previous Stewardship Minute<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stewardshiplibrary.com\/matthew-6-25\/\">Next Stewardship Minute<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[89,68],"tags":[27,24],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stewardshiplibrary.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stewardshiplibrary.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stewardshiplibrary.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stewardshiplibrary.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stewardshiplibrary.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=407"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stewardshiplibrary.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3989,"href":"https:\/\/stewardshiplibrary.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407\/revisions\/3989"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stewardshiplibrary.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=407"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stewardshiplibrary.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=407"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stewardshiplibrary.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=407"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
