God has hidden a treasure in the field he has given you. Today, embrace your lot in life, and you will discover the rich treasure of knowing Christ better.
Matthew 13 says that “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy he went out and sold all that he had and bought that field.” Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada and I love this parable because, like that man, I have found a hidden treasure in a field. It’s an ugly field that nobody else wants. I call it my “field of paralysis.” But when I discovered that God had buried a treasure in that field, I happily sold everything I had to buy it. I proudly own that field now. And it’s still pretty ugly. But, oh, my field has yielded the treasure of knowing Jesus so much more intimately. And Jesus is worth every pain and problem! Friend, God has hidden a treasure in your field, as well. So today, embrace what God has given you – your lot in life. In so doing, you, too, will discover the rich treasure of knowing Jesus Christ better.
