On Jesus, O my soul, then fix your eyes:
Look to His promises and precious Word,
And seek Him only as your treasured prize.
Seek Him as goal and source—your joy preferred—
Ambition, aim, and your inheritance.
Press forward into Him then undeterred!
But fathom this: 'Tis Providence, not chance,
That brings you to the center of His gaze;
His tender thoughts, each careful, loving glance,
Each drop of Grace that's lit by Mercy's rays
All point with wonder and with great surprise
That ever more shall fill eternal days.
No marvel that we treasure Paradise,
But God has set vile us as His own prize!
- D. Benning
Based on considering Deut. 7:6 and Mal. 3:17, where we are called God's Treasured Possession! After hearing Pastor read several scriptures detailing how we are God's inheritance!
