Treasure Up My Commandments Within You
Seduction comes in many forms, not just alluring women or men. In fact, most of us have been enticed by the glamor and appeal of marketing techniques. We, the unsuspecting consumer, are manipulated daily by seductive and powerful methods into purchasing items we don’t need. And we, like the young man in this chapter, can benefit from the words of warning and exhortation to treasure the LORD’s commandments and write them in our hearts, to embrace wisdom and understanding to keep us on the path of life.  Dear Father, please safeguard us from seduction in its various forms. We are so often naïve regarding its power of manipulation and destructive effects. Protect us with wisdom and understanding. Help us to invest in loving relationships with You and with family, friends and the people in our circles. And guard us from succumbing to seduction, including that of illicit relationships and purchasing product we don’t need. May we never stray from the path that leads to life. And may we lay up our treasures in heaven that will never pass away. 

Here is a fun song about laying up treasures in heaven.... :)
