The Treasure Of My Life
(5 minutes)
But the moment one turns to the Lord with an open heart, the veil is lifted and they see. Now, the "Lord" I'm referring to is the Holy Spirit, and wherever he is Lord, there is freedom. We can all draw close to him with the veil removed from our faces. And with no veil we all become like mirrors who brightly reflect the glory of the Lord Jesus. We are being transfigured into his very image as we move from one brighter level of glory to another. And this glorious transfiguration comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. (2 Corinthians 3:16-18)
As we're pursuing the Lordship of the Spirit in every area of our lives, it's important to remember what drives us - why we do what we do. Pastor Tim has mentioned in the last couple of weeks that we will move heaven and earth to do something our heart desires to do. Isn't this the truth? We will always find a way.
This scripture gives us the Kingdom principle behind this reality.
For your heart will always pursue what you value as your treasure. (Matthew 6:21)
"Let me ask you one question on the end of this scripture...If you could not explain to someone what you believe and all they had was the evidence of your life, what would they say is your treasure? If you couldn't tell them what you loved, what would your life tell others you loved?" (Pastor Tim)
This is such a powerful question. We should take this question into intimacy with Abba today and open our hearts to hear whatever He has to say.
If we're ever wondering what we're valuing as our treasure, we can always look at our life and what it's producing because we are always gravitating, naturally, to those things. Our time flows there. Our attention flows there. Our resources flow there. Our heart naturally flows toward what we value.
So, whether we know it or not, we are already experts at honor. Honor is what happens when see value in something. The question is: are we honoring and seeing the value in the things of the Kingdom?
As we turn our hearts to the Spirit today and make Him Lord in every area, our hearts will begin to see value in Abba's Kingdom and His perspective. And eventually, our lives will be a witness to this shift because we will naturally begin to honor what we value as our treasure.
We can begin this journey today on our walk with Abba. Let's turn our hearts to Him and yield to His Lordship. As we stare into His loving eyes, the treasure of our heart will shift and He will become the One thing our heart desires. When He becomes the treasure, our life will follow.
