pedgell added a text contribution Treasure HuntersTreasures in Jars of Clay! Not everyone's treasure is the same, so many don't seek what God has for them. God has hidden so many wonderful things for us to find! I expect He smiles and laughs when we discover these treasures. V.1 is telling us it is our purpose always to seek and that the things we learn, give up, do and find are part of the treasure; so don't give up the search. Seekers of the... Read more »

pedgell added a text contribution Daily livingPsalm 91:14-16 confirm to me that in our consistent daily walk with God He is very close to us. He is always within our reach and we are always within His care. These verses (especially 16) imply that in our obediance and care for ourselves, in our salvation through Christ, and in our daily trust in Him, He will honor us with "blessings" (His version of blessings!! Wow!!!) and a long life. He's... Read more »
