MCIKOBD: The Treasure of WORSHIP

The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.  Matt. 13:44

You got to love Jesus' way of being able to articulate the unseen.   Here He's telling us the the Kingdom, where God resides, where we long to go, is like a treasure.   You don't treasure junk.  As a matter of fact that is totally subjective, because one man's trash is another man's treasure....or something like that....but really those things that are most valued to us...we store away.  We might have it on display but it's not to be touched or handled.  I recall as a kid searching for buried treasure and thinking we've found something of great value....but I think we knew....it really wasn't of great value.  Even if it was a quarter or half dollar, we'd usually end up spending it at the corner store for candy.

But not this guy....he reburied it, and in his joy went and sold all that he had to buy the whole field, treasure and all.  Many of you are searching for the next best_____________________ and when you find it, chances are it won't really be the BEST, you'll dissect it or wreck it and notice the flaws.   But what about finding the treasure in CHRIST?  Have you discovered that you can't do anything to stop Him from loving you?  Sure you can wreck your end of it, but not His cause He's committed to you.  Have you discovered that because there are no flaws in Christ........He really is the Best Thing That Happened To You?

Spend today thinking about what really has been the BEST THING that you've found, or that has happened to you, and spend the day praising GOD for that! All the while don't forget to LOVE GOD, and LOVE PEOPLE!
