Daily Bread — Instruction: What Is Important

Today’s Reading: Matthew 6:16–24
(EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)

“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”
(Matthew 6:21, KJV)

This week’s EFKS theme:
The Gospel of Matthew: Instructions and Reassurance

A Thought for Today

Jesus speaks about what truly matters. He draws attention away from outward appearance and toward the direction of the heart.

What we value shapes how we live.

What This Means for Us Today

Jesus reminds us that our hearts naturally follow what we treasure. When our focus rests only on possessions, approval, or status, our vision becomes divided.

Faith invites us to look beyond what fades and to centre our lives on God’s purposes. When our priorities are clear, our hearts find steadiness and peace.

Carry This With You

Guard what you give your heart to today.
True security is found in what lasts.

A Simple Prayer

God, help us to recognise what truly matters.
Turn our hearts toward You
and shape our priorities with wisdom and faith.
Amen.

Today’s Invitation

Pause today to reflect on where your time and attention are most often directed, and ask God to realign your heart with what is lasting and good.
