The Searcher's Goal
"Also, the kingdom of heaven is like a salesman looking for
fine pearls. One day the salesman found a very fine pearl.
The salesman went and sold everything he had to buy that
pearl."
-- Matthew 13:45-46 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
I don't know about you, but I love to read mystery novels. I search for
the clues, listen for the hints, and dig for the foreshadowing. But the
joy of the search is worth its price only when I reach its goal. In
searching for God's truth, I travel on the road of assurance because I
know he wants me to find his grace and discover his Kingdom even more
than I do. But without stretching for his truth, I may not have truly
appreciated all that he has done for me. Without surrendering to him
completely, letting his Kingdom be fully recognized as what I have
longed to find all of my life, I probably would have missed its power
and beauty. The Kingdom brings joy, not because its demands are easy,
but because it calls me to a life of wholehearted, singularly focused
truth.I won't hold anything back as I follow.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Almighty God, King of All, I want to fully surrender to your call and
serve your Kingdom with wholehearted devotion. You are worthy of my
life and your Kingdom is worth any price I may pay. Please help my
faith to remain strong, my vision clear and my heart set fully on doing
your work. In the midst of this, I know you will keep me in your grace.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
