For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. -Matthew 6:21
I'm just putting some thoughts down on here.
What is treasure? Treasure is what pirates go after. Gold, shiny coins, stuff like that, along with the fair maiden. Countries go to war for treasure, money, possessions... memories are considered to be treasures of the mind.
Treasure -noun
1. wealth or riches stored or accumulated, esp. in the form of precious metals, money, jewels, or plate.
2. wealth, rich materials, or valuable things.
3. any thing or person greatly valued or highly prized: This book was his chief treasure.
-verb (used with object)
4. to retain carefully or keep in store, as in the mind.
5. to regard or treat as precious; cherish.
6. to put away for security or future use, as money.
Now, the previous verse says to store up treasures in heaven, treasures that cannot be destroyed or taken away. Proverbs says that wisdom is a treasure and that being righteous gains a man treasure. Isaiah says that the fear of the LORD is the key to wisdom, salvation, and knowledge, which, by the way, are considered treasure.
