Christians hear the word of the Bible, but we don\u2019t obey what it says.  We may on occasion be obedient, but in the long haul we do what we want and disobey God\u2019s Word.  We think we know better or we just want what we want.  We are so busy building treasures here on Earth we forget the true treasures are being obedient and storing them in Heaven.<\/p>\n<p>Application: I know God\u2019s word and He makes it clear what He desires of me.  I must be diligent in doing all that God requires and not just the times that it is convenient for me.
