Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.
7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
( Proverbs 4:5-7)
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. ( Matt. 13:45-46).
It isn't a scripture; but I feel led to say that as a treasure; those possessing the Spirit of God are rare. Clearly the road is narrow and few find eternal life; but even those who do know the Lord are often caught up in life so much that it is hard to prioritize and focus on the Lord. For those who do know the Lord we can often more easily recognize the Spirit at work in others rather than seeing it in ourselves (I can only speak for myself and assume that it is similar for others). It saddens me to realize how weak; how pitiful; how poor a reflection of the joy of the Lord and His power my own life demonstrates.
Truly when we have examples to look up to it helps us to grow which is something discipleship should encourage although it seems a rare thing these days.
There is; with anything else a balance here. We can't put people on pedestals no matter how much the Lord is blessing them or using them to minister to us. Ultimately it is Christ who is to be exalted and glorified but usually He uses others in the Body of Christ to accomplish this. He dan use dreams or our own personal walk in the Lord to make a great impact; and without a personal devotion and commitment to time in prayer and scriptures as well as sharing our faith we are going to be less sensitive to His Spirit in us as well as how He is working with those around us; including unbelievers to receptiveness to the Gospel.
When rewards are given in heaven we will understand why. Run for the prize!!
