But
starting point is
most important point. Jesus said, “Seek first
Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all
rest will fall into place”. It’s a rough translation of Matthew 6:33, but it captures
essence. If you truly have your focus on
Kingdom, I do believe that
rest will follow.
And let me give you one other word from Jesus (from that same sermon in Matthew 6) that will help to keep you on track. It’s one of my favourite verses and one of
most penetrating words Jesus ever gave us.
“Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also”.
Did you get that? Where you’re treasure is - that’s where your heart is!
Again, this is not advice, any more than
statement about
two masters was advice. It’s a straightforward statement of fact. ‘Your heart will always be found alongside your treasure!’
The great power of these words is that they give us a sort of litmus test for spiritual integrity - not just in online marketing, but in all of life.
You see, we normally think that it’s what we say that indicates where their heart is! We are obviously spiritual people if we say spiritual things. Our words indicate where our heart is.
No! Jesus says, ‘I’ll give you a better test. Show me where your treasure is. That’s where your heart is!’
Do you want to know where someone’s heart lies? Take a look at their tax return! Do you want to know where your heart is? Take another look at your bank account!
This is
only sure-fire test for spiritual integrity that Jesus ever gave us. ‘Do you want to know where a person’s heart is? Have a look at where they’ve stored their treasure’.
I won’t bother spelling this out in any more detail. I’m sure you can think it through for yourself. Think about your great spiritual role models. Where did Mother Theresa have her treasure invested? Think about
people you most admire. Where have they invested their treasure?
Of course it’s quite possible that
people you most admire are fat millionaires who live in plush surroundings and don’t think about anybody beyond themselves and their families. OK. There’s nothing I can do about that, but please do me
favour of being honest about one thing: you are serving
other master!
