he redeemed from the hand of the foe"
PSALM 107:2
Throughout my life. I've accumulated a lot of stuff. I have boxes of things that at one time were important but over time have lost their intrigue. And, as an unrepentant collector, I've realized that piece to add to the collection. Then my attention turns toward to hunt for the next item.
While we pile up many things the are important to us, very little of its really precious. In fact, over time I have learned that the most precious things in life are not material items at all. Rather, it's the people who have loved me and built into my life who are precious. When I find my heart saying, "I don't know what I'd do without them," I know that they are indeed precious to me.
So when Peter refers to Jesus as "a chief corner stone, elect preicious" (1Peter 2:6). It should be resonate in ours hearts that He is truly precious our prized possesion above everything and everyone else. Where would we be today without the constant unfailing companionship of His faithful presence, wise and perfect guidance, merciful patience, comfort, and transforming reproof? What would we do without Him? I can't even imagine!
