Where to place your heart?

After 2 Samuel 24 

It’s a choice: where

to place your heart,

your hope, your confidence?

You have a multitude

of possibilities, of answers:

money, investments, 

property, possessions,

knowledge, experience,

reputation, family, health,

and more. He made his

choice, because of his power,

his influence, his span

of control. He forgot

the words of Joshua,

as for him and his house.
