When the word precious is mentioned, it is thought to be of something of great value, or high price like precious jewels. Perhaps a precious friend or loved one comes to mind who is highly esteemed or cherished.

Websters defines it in synonyms: costly, dear, expensive, extravagant, high, high-end, premium, priceless, ultraexpensive, valuable. When I see these words, it is Christ who is emblematic of these expressions. Whatever a person esteems precious, becomes the strong focus of protection and preservation above all else.

The words come to me from the 1 Peter 2:7, "Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious..." You see it is one thing to say that Jesus is precious to you, but if you do not believe His word, then that preciousness is void. When Christ becomes precious to you, then all that flows from Him become precious. What is precious then becomes guarded by your very life and heart because He lives in you.

What is in your heart that matters the most is what is most precious to you. But if there are things, and habits and ways that are of this world and not of the other world (heaven), then He is not precious to you. Your heart is the seat of Christ, by virtue of His Holy Spirit, and that is the seat of divine love. You can only love what is precious to you.

That love you will have for Him then becomes most precious. The knowledge of His will becomes precious to you. All that is precious to Him becomes precious to you. Then you will go and pray to the One whom is precious to you, from a heart of precious love, and precious believing.

In the growing days of darkness, while the whole world is clamoring, fearing, and falling apart, you will live in His precious light like the Children of Israel in Goshen. Because you are precious to Him, your prayers prayed in Jesus name will become most precious to God. Finally, in the word it says, "If a man loves God the same is known of Him."

Is that known of you? If Jesus is precious to you, His word will be your daily bread, the "lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path." He will care for you, preserve and sustain you because of His great and precious promises unto you who believe for His namesake. Your life will animate what and Who is precious to you to a dying world.

"Jesus is not a grain of gold, but a vast globe of it, a priceless mass of treasure, such as heaven and earth cannot excel."
~Charles Spurgeon
