The Rejected Silver

[S] Jeremiah 6:30 --
    ³⁰They call them rejected silver,
         Because the LORD has rejected them.

[O] Whether silver is buried in mud or placed in a brightly lit display case, its value does not change as long as it is pure silver.  However, the silver that is rejected by God is worthless and in fact God will discard it all together.  There are so many "silver" that we hold on to in this world which God had rejected deceiving ourselves to believe we are holding on to valuable things because they look so good on the outside.  The lesson here is that I need to see (and believe) that the true values I should gather and cling on to is what God deems valuable no matter how good things may look in my own eyes.

[A] In order to have the same gauge as God on the values of things in and around my life, I need to first learn the standards of value system from God's instructional manual, the Bible.  Even if I do not understand everything, I need to soak them up into my mind such that God may use that knowledge to guide my gauging.  So keep up my daily Life Journaling of reading the volumes of Bible.

[P] Dear God, thank You for the Bible to teach me how to put right values on the things I treasure in this world.  I wouldn't want to hold on to any things You rejected just because they resemble things of true value.  Grant me the discernment to know which is Yours and which You rejected.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
