When you seek the Lord and walk with Him he will begin to show and teach you things. These will be treasures to you all of your life. These treasures will be more precious to you than worldly things and they will connect you through memories and experiences in special ways to the Lord. They are something shared just between you and the Lord and they enrich your relationship with Him. You will also be able to share your treasures with others to encourage them.
The treasure I want to share with you today is found in the Book of Psalms chapter 86, verse 11- the second half of the verse, here it is in the NIV:
"..give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name."
This verse spoke to me several years ago and became one of my life's prayers. It taught me to actually pray for my own heart. I want to know the Lord but its so easy to have things get between us and the Lord- this verse taught me a way of asking the Lord for help to ensure he had all of my heart. I knew I had fallen away from the Lord before and knew what I wanted in life was to know God- this verse showed me I can pray for help to stay strong in the Lord. I was inspired from this verse to pray for an undivided heart and it has meant a lot to me for the last few years.
As you seek the Lord and put God first - he'll share treasures with you that will enrich your relationship with Him and allow you to bless others.
Let's GO God!
