“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6 v21.
I have been thinking a bit more on obedience and how we all obey or follow something whether we consciously choose to or not. In our post-modern society, we shy away from notions of objective truth, ironically we seem to feel that it is morally right that we are uninhibited and free to choose (outside of common law) that which we decide is right to obey. But I don’t think we can escape the reality that we are all someone or something’s disciple, whether this is a conscious decision or not.
To find out who or what we obey, one simply has to think about what he spends most of his time thinking about because that is where his heart really is, that is what he follows. Family, sex, job, social standing, finances, intelligence, the list is considerable. The problem is that whatever our treasure is, then that will end up defining who we are. If what I hold dearest is my job and I get fired, then my entire sense of who I am, my very identity, could be crushed.
