I browse and dig and "pick" through the stuff looking for little treasures. I never know what I am going to find, some days I leave with empty hands but a head full of new ideas for some of my old stuff.
Other times I have my arms full of little treasures, cups and saucers, picture frames, old wooden kitchen tools or things to make jewelry with for my small business. I like old stuff and finding ways to re-purpose them into a brand new life.
"Picking" is fun and I have made an unofficial commitment to it in that I partake regularly in this relaxing hobby.
"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also". Matthew 6:21 NIV
Although I find it fun to "pick" through some old junk I find my true satisfaction in searching for real treasure in God's Word. It is here in the pages of Scripture that I pick up the little nuggets of Truth that change my life.
Some days I pick up a small treasure in a devotion and ponder it through the day and then study it more later that night. Other days I dig and dig and come up with a heart and mind full of treasure. I don't just swing through God's Word once a week but I go there everyday.
I am a picker of God's Truth and I search there multiple times throughout my day so I don't miss a thing He has waiting for me.
"I want you woven into a tapestry of love, in touch with everything there is to know about God. Then you will have minds confident and at rest, focused on Christ, God's great mystery. All the richest treasures of wisdom and knowledge are embedded in that mystery and nowhere else."
Colossians 2:2-3 The Message
Go ahead and become a picker of God's Truth. God's Word is a treasure trove just waiting for you (there is no junk in God's Word). God wants to meet with you and take your junk and re-purpose it for HIS glory.
Your picker sister in Christ,
