Scripture of the Day
Proverbs 17:8 (NKJV)
“So Precious”
A present is a precious stone in the eyes of its possessor; Wherever he turns, he prospers.
-------------------------------------------
Me and my wife saw this beautiful house when we first got to this area (D.C.) a few years ago, but after the realtor gave us the asking price . . . it just wasn’t worth it. In fact, because of the price, we started to look at things with a more critical eye. What we saw as precious, quickly lost its value as far as we are concerned. The very same house we were looking at in D.C. would only cost a little more than half that price in Texas. So we could only see the worth of the house based on the price that we were use to paying. Now let’s rewind a few months before that, when we were on the other end of preciousness.
When we put our house in Texas on the market, the realtor told me that we were asking for too much. Obviously she did not understand how precious our home was to us. It didn’t matter to me what the competitions were listing their houses for . . . I felt our house was worth every penny we were asking for. When we were told to take pictures off the wall and impersonalize things, I said “no”, because that would devalue the house. This was our precious stone. We had so many memories there. Of course we were willing to pay the price that we were asking . . . so why wouldn’t everyone else see the same value? Our house was a precious stone in the eyes of its possessors!
Who is the possessor of your soul? Who do you belong to? It doesn’t matter about your height, shape, weight or very first birth date . . . you are a precious stone in the eyes of your possessor. HE made you invaluable! GOD looks at all of HIS creations as precious stones, even when we act a little ugly from time to time . . . you are still the apple of HIS eye! (Deuteronomy 32:10) Now let’s look on the other side of HIS preciousness.
For GOD so loved the world that he gave HIS only Son (John 3:16) . . . HE gave HIS one and only Son! JESUS is The Precious Stone of Salvation! HE is The Precious Corner Stone of our foundation (Isaiah 28:16)! HE is The Precious Chief Corner Stone of our Faith (1 Peter 2:6). Because GOD values our relationship so much, HE has given HIS Precious Stone to let us know that, although none are worthy . . . we are worth it! GOD considers you Very Precious, when will you consider the same! Salvation is So Precious . . . so please don’t let it lose its value in your life! Trust me, it is more than worth it.
