Clergy Corner

Question of the Week for

July 26:

What sacrifices am I willing to make and what hardships am I willing to endure in order to gain the kingdom of heaven?

Given the chance to ask one thing of God for ourselves, what would we choose? Before we answer, we would be wise to look back at other things we’ve wished for, even longed for, and have received. Have they brought us the joy we thought they would? Or did our satisfaction fade over time? Remember, God is infinitely good, the source of all goodness, constant goodness, whether that is love, peace, or happiness. Solomon asked for an understanding heart so that he could exercise wise judgment. With this, he could judge among many good things and discern what truly would bring him joy. But we don’t need this. Jesus has revealed the greatest treasure to us—the kingdom— and it will bring us true joy. May we trust in him and pursue the kingdom over all other good things.
