The kingdom of God is played out in processes. Rarely do you get instant answers, but the answers come in forms of seed. And that takes time to grow.

Then came two short parables in between about the price of the kingdom, which was, well, ironically, priceless that you give up everything for it.

And lastly came the part about the parting, the good from the bad. Notice that this only comes at the end. The reason for the process is not so that we end up on God's side of the parting. But God is interested in individuals and their development to be more like Him. The end prize is that we get to be with Him. And the thing that ties the beginning to the end is how much we value the Kingdom of God.

Yesterday's reading also had a point about how the kingdom of God is like a treasure hidden in a field. We don't always see the worth in the kingdom, because it is usually hidden. Two questions can be asked.

1) How did he know to look for treasure in "that" field? Answer - he didn't. He just discovered it, but obviously he must have been looking for it. He must have been either wondering around the field, or trying to develop the field, basically spending time on the field. And to many of us, we miss how valuable the kingdom of God is because we only look for God in the field called "church". We never discover the many treasures that God's kingdom reign in our lives in the other aspects of daily life. When we're in the field of our own rooms, or travelling to school, or meeting up with friends. Do we discover the purpose for God's kingdom in those stuff, and while in that field, let nothing else hold us back but live to gain God's kingdom in that field.

2) What covered the treasure? Other people owned the field, this guy discovered it and had to buy it. That's pretty much the main thing we need to ask ourselves, what's hiding the treasure of God's Kingdom that we don't see the value in it?

Yup, that's it for now, prayer time!
