Treasure Seekers (Jer. 29:13)

Have you heard about the dedicated treasure seekers who discovered 50,000 ancient coins worth $15.6 million?  The story is here.  What would've happened had the treasure seekers quit prematurely?  They wouldn't have discovered the treasure.

Those seekers were after an earthly treasure.  Believers in Jesus are seeking an eternal treasure.

You are my strength when I am weak
You are the treasure that I seek
You are my all in all
Seeking You as a precious Jewel
Lord, to give up I'd be a fool
You are my all in all
         -- Dennis Jernigan
Treasure-seeking requires commitment, discipline, consistency.  While seeking earthly treasure can be a part-time hobby, seeking Jesus requires 100% investment.  Here is the promise:  "You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart" (Jer. 29:13).  God wants you to find Him.  He's waiting to be "discovered."  Go after Him.
