The life of Jesus. Read Today: Parables explained and told in private Matthew 13:36-53
Matthew 13:44 ESV
44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
What is more important to you, time at work or time in the Word. I am not saying that you give up your job, but the pursuit of the things of the world are going to get you nowhere fast. In the end your relationship with God is what is important. That is what God is saying here. Are you willing to give up what appears to be important to get what is important. I have a decision to make. Reduce my income but be home nights, or keep the income and be gone 7 nights a week. It is time for a change in my life. What are you willing to give up.
Read for tomorrow: Orders to cross the Sea of Galilee; Matthew 8:18; Mark 4:35; Luke 8:22
