Scripture: Matthew 13:44 “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 God saying to me?: Nothing compares to the “treasure” and “joy” of the kingdom of heaven.  I need to deny myself, take up my cross daily and follow Jesus.  For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for Jesus will save it.

How will I obey?: Today, I want to look for things in my life that I have not been ready to sell for the sake of Jesus.  Then, I want to prayerfully turn them over to God.  “Lord, show me things that I am holding back from You.  What do I have that I haven’t been willing to sell in order to buy the kingdom?”

Who will I tell?: Rebecca.
