Treasure is rarely found on the surface. It often involves digging and researching.
Who has time for doing that these days with our busy lives, right?
Jesus said, 'If you seek, you will find'.
Those who find it though feel refreshed, rejuvenated and invigorated. Joy immeasurable and deep satisfaction wells up within their souls, and they rejoice greatly. The hardships they endured along the way are far from their thoughts!
Sometimes we fall into the trap of just barely surviving, and we live our lives 'getting by' and life's journey seems a hard slog. Then, when something happens adversely, we don't fare so well because we are running on an empty or low tank! Or when our friends need us, we feel like we have nothing to give.
I am challenged by the parable of the foolish virgins, who found that they had very little oil in their lamps, and I wonder if I am like them sometimes. If we are thirsty (feeling dry), it is us that must drink from the living waters God has provided.
It is imperative that we immerse ourselves in God's word, and in time spent with Him in prayer. Here we will find renewed energy, to keep running the race, and the right fuel for our spirit!
Til next time...Cheers!
