The Field of Treasure
“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden
in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.”
MATTHEW 13:44
in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.”
MATTHEW 13:44
For too long we have contented ourselves with what God can do for us and what He can give us. We come to the Lord with a need in mind, and the next day we approach with another need, and the following day we return with yet another request. This pattern repeats itself continually. We return again and again to withdraw a little more from the heavenly bank.
Surely we should let our requests be made known unto God, and we must also ask, that we may receive. But think: if a man owns a field, does he not also possess the buried treasure in the field? Does it not stand to reason then, that if we receive HIM, we possess all He has? How shall He not, with His Son, freely give us all things?
