Hidden Treasure

Matt. 13:44 says, "the kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys  that field."  I truly know in my inner man that I have found that treasure.  It is exhilarating to live by faith, fully putting your trust in the Lord.  Scary at times yes, but only because this faith is not yet perfected.  There is a depth that God takes you to when you remove all props and trust Him.  He begins to show you just how little faith you have.  But strength and assurance come because the heart of the King is moved by your act of faith and He in turn draws near to show Himself faithful.  The greatest challenge is the fact that once you make a bold move to step out in faith, things do not always and immediately take the form of what you thought it looked like in your mind's eye.  If you step out in faith to trust the Lord...buckle your seatbelt because the very reason that you thought you were stepping out, may have absolutely nothing to do with what the Lord actually intends to do through you obedience to trust and have faith  It is always more difficulty for us mortals to see the big picture because we are usually looking at our little sphere that we live in.  God is always doing a deep work in us,  so lets hold on, keep trusting and believing and being obedient for He is faithful to complete what He began in us.
