HOW DEEP DO YOU DIG?

Digging Deeper in the Word is not just for our own enjoyment and fulfillment, [dicovering hidden truths and gems]it is also to be used for more effectiveness in His great and glorious plan!
It is not just for us. 
 

Like miners who have to go deep; carrying light with them - they enter into those dark and hidden places with the light so they can work more effectively; whether that be mining for minerals and precious gems or rescueing someone who has lost thier way.

We fill up with light when we dig into the Word and then we become 'carriers of light'.

We are told in 1 Corinthians 2:10, “For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.”  Hungry and eager to search the depths of God's ways, to sink our roots deeper into His truth.

How deep we go is reflective of what we find and how much we find.  I personally believe that God honours our tenacity when we dig; He is pleased and He starts giving revelation and puts gems in our path so we are encouraged to keep digging for more until we get closer and closer to Him.   So finding gems and precious stones will cause us to get closer to Him.  There is an increase of our fruit-bearing when we dig.  If I know the treasures are there but I refuse to dig, that is equal to having a knowlege without works[effort] and is arrogant and overconfident.  Knowing there are precious stones and gems, and I choose to dig for them,  is humility- As I humble myself and position myself to dig, it is like knowledge combined with work and I humble myself to do it.

We begin to dig--- first it is just digging only, just by faith, not knowing what we are to find.  Then as we keep at it and go deeper suddenly we find a few treasures! Oh, and the joy of that discovery causes us to dig even more! Soon we have a few more treasures! Some of us are happy to stop right there satisfied with a few treasures!  Others want to recieve all that the Lord has and will continue to dig until they hit the cache. 

That is like knowing in part -- there is more to be found and so we dig for more of Him and also producing a deeper knowlege of  God.

Going deeper with God,

Not giving up in your digging,

Do not grow weary for you will recieve a harvest of revelations; a cashe of truth-nuggets; and your spirit will light up and grow stronger.  Be a digger and go on a treasure hunt!

I am!
