Morning: Psalm 37:1-18; Habbakuk 3:1-18; Philippians 3:12-21
Evening: Psalm 37:19-42; John 17:1-8
Jesus
and Paul both bid us to pursue what is life-giving – “where your
treasure is, there will your heart be”; don’t set your hearts on earthly
treasure … or Keep Your Eyes on the Prize! Paul’s phrase became
a popular Civil Rights song. Jesus’ call to ‘repent’ is about the same
thing … one writer says it means, “Change the direction in which you
look for happiness.” In other words, you won’t find happiness or
fulfilment in things. What prize (or ‘treasure’) am I after? Will it
satisfy my heart?
