The Treasure Hunt



This shows the heart and wisdom of our God. There will come a time in your life when you'll realise there must be more to life. A lot more than what you've seen so far. What drives each one of us to this point might vary but the purpose is the same - TO CRY OUT TO GOD.

The cry of our heart gets God's attention like nothing else does. We established in a previous article that God's got nothing better to do than to look at our hearts. Why? He's watching and waiting for you to just cry out so he can set in motion the series of events meant to lead you to fulfillment. Foremost of these events would be salvation. This will singlehandedly secure you in a good place while all other events take their course.

Of all God's creation, only Man has the capacity to cry out to God in the language of sonship. A Son's heartfelt cry can never go unanswered. It triggers a process that will ultimately lead to you fulfilling God's ultimate plan for your life. Most people have been cut down by the wicked one before reaching this crying out stage. The enemy knows that once that God-ordained process has been triggered, nothing can stop it, not even death. I am of the opinion that Death is one of the enemies that is included in the promise that says; "When a man's ways pleases the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him" Proverbs 16:7.

This is why the prayer of the faithful is perhaps the most lethal weapon dreaded by the enemy. So don't complain and thus waste a good trial, turn your heart heavenward and cry out instead. That's always something the forces behind our trials never bargain for. You are living in the best of times, at time when adversity can be turned into opportunity. A time when you've sank or dropped so low that the only way is up.
