Prospector or Panhandler?

You can skim a little bit off the top of the Word and walk in a bit of the blessing but if you want the true treasure you have to dig for it.

“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a REWARDER of those who DILIGENTLY seek Him.” (Heb 11:6 NKJV Caps. added)

If you seek God casually you will have a slight and superficial relationship but if you seek Him diligently it will be deep and rewarding. Something is better than nothing but you won’t find enough panhandling to live “life more abundantly.” But if you daily desire God and diligently seek Him you will find treasure greater than all the riches of earth.

Ps 119:162
I rejoice at Your word
As one who finds great treasure.
NKJV

Ps 119:72
72 Your instructions are more valuable to me
than millions in gold and silver.
NLT

Prov 8:10-11
10 Receive my instruction, and not silver,
And knowledge rather than choice gold;
11 For wisdom is better than rubies,
And all the things one may desire cannot be compared with her.
NKJV

Ps 19:7-11
7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul;
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;
8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;
9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold,
Yea, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them Your servant is warned,
And in keeping them there is great REWARD.
