Mt 6:19-23

Jesus contrasts material possessions that are easily destroyed with relationship with God, the eternal treasure. Choosing the latter is the key to holiness. Jesus tells the disciples that the eyes are the pathway to the soul. Healthy and holy spiritual vision leads to faithfulness and obedience to God.

I pray for the strength to recognize the distractions for what they are and the strength to push them away. Keep me focused on you, my God.
