What's Your Passport?

It had been a couple of days since I could not find my passport. I was not too sure where I had put it. Even to the point of not being certain if I had taken it with me when I went out two weeks ago.

I looked everywhere in my room. I searched all my clothes and on the table where I normally put it and still could not find it. I began to panic as I had not even photocopied it knowing I had visa stamps inside and am planning to travel this month.

Today, after cleaning my room and being fed up that I could not find it, I randomly opened one of my books and I saw my passport on the inside cover! I had such an unspeakable joy!

I instantly sensed God speaking to me about the things that we hold dear to us in our lives: passport, houses, cars, jewelry, etc but then how much value do we place on His Word? This may sound cliché but the psalmist in Psalm 119 saw it as a reality. For he said
"The law from Your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces." (verse 72)
Do we have such a passion, such desire, such hunger, such craving for God's Word? May we re-evaluate our priorities in life.
I'll end with this:

"My son, hear the instruction of your father; reject not nor forsake the teaching of your mother.
For they are a [victor's] chaplet (garland) of grace upon your head and chains and pendants [OF GOLD WORN BY KINGS] for your neck. (Proverbs 1:8-9 Amplified,emphasis mine)

May we harken unto God's voice in His teachings and treasure it more than anything.
