What is your greatest treasure?

What is your Greatest Treasure?

Posted on January 2, 2016June 25, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

Quite a week, huh? Tornadoes in Texas. Floods in Missouri. And blizzards way up north. In a week where we are supposed to be celebrating, the weather is raging a storm. But could it be that we need to be jolted to remember who is worth treasuring?

The Fight for Your Life

With the flurry of things grabbing our attention, it is a fight to make Jesus our top priority. We get caught up in the things of this world. The returning of Christmas presents. The making of New Year’s Resolutions. And lest we forget, the resuming of our workout plan.

It’s tough being a Christian. Sometimes it just is. The kids are hollering. The dog is bellowing. And we think to ourselves, “I have better things to do.”

But our relationship with Jesus must not be laid to the side. Or worse yet, entirely dismissed. He has bought you with a price and does not forget, you matter to Him. He loves you (John 3:16), cherishes you (Matthew 13:45-46), delights in you (Zephaniah 3:17)…and for you paid the ultimate price (Romans 5:8).

I recall a time when my son Kade spent hours seeking hidden treasures in the vastness of the greenbelt neighboring our backyard. It’s kinda funny to see the things a 9-year-old boy holds dear. Rusted out Coke cans. Remnants of an old bike. Partial deer antlers. Unrecognizable junk for sure! But it didn’t matter…he would run home elated with a grin smearing his face from ear to ear. Laying it all out on the table and sharing about his journey, half of the fun was in the massive treasure hunt extending a great expanse of time.

Scripture reminds us that we are not to lay up treasure here on this earth, but rather, our relationship with Jesus is what we should hold dear. We should seek after Him like hidden treasure, digging for gems deeper still.

As you make your New Year’s Resolutions, where will Jesus fit in?

It’s a New Year. A fresh start. A brand new beginning. Let’s get it going in the right direction. Will you join me?

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:21

Woohoo! 🎉🎈. It’s Friday! I️ feel good 🎶 Seems like just yesterday you were 9 🎉🎈 Happy Birthday Jesus! Thank you for giving us this special day to celebrate all that you have done for us! We are so blessed by a relationship with you, as well as with family & friends! Living the Texas life & loving it! #familieshelpingfamilies #regentsschoolofaustin This one is good… The world seems pretty unpredictable as of late, so I must remind myself that God is always up to something. But when I take a look around, it sure doesn’t seem that way. Our nation seems more like a dysfunctional family with constant bickering and fighting. Not to mention all the chaos ensuing outside of our borders too.⠀ Happy Birthday 🎊🎉🎂! I️ cannot believe we have another adult in the house. Love you Kade! Hi Friends!⠀ #firstdayofschool here we come! 🎉💕
