8 “Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’10 In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
Have you ever lost something and had to look everywhere for it? Maybe it was your phone, keys, or something like that. As you put the things that are important in safe places, think about God. Do you ever lose touch with him? How hard do you search? Are you delighted when you find him?
Look at the stuff that hid the things you value. Where are the things in your life that hide God? What buries the kingdom and makes you forget? Some of those things you can keep, but they will need to be put where they aren't in the what of what really matters.
Maybe some stuff has to go. Some of those decisions are easy, some hard. God may see value in things you thought were worthless, or he may want you to get rid of something you wanted to hoard.
It's tough to forget things when they mean so much but are you willing to do it for God? He has a perfect path set up for you.
