I would like to share with you the secret of mining for gold in the Gospels. Open with me to Mark 1.
Gold was found at the head of Six-Mile Canyon in the territory of Nevada in 1859 by two miners named Pat McLaughlin and Peter O’Reilly. A fellow miner, Henry Comstock, stumbled upon their find and claimed it was on his property. The gullible McLaughlin and O’Reilly believed him and assured Comstock a place in history when the giant lode was named.
Following the gold up the canyon, an outcropping of gold in quartz was found. The biggest problem in this grubstake paradise was the sticky blue-gray mud that clung to picks and shovels. When the mud was assayed, it proved to be silver ore worth over $2,000 a ton – in 1859 dollars! That was a dollar per shovel full then, or in 1999 money, it was equal to $400 per shovel scooped. No wonder the Crocker Bank of California and the Heart Fortune both began here.
Have you started turning shovels of blessings into gold from the Gospels? There is a simple way to do just that:
Read the Bible: Thoughtfully
Read the Bible: Prayerfully
Read the Bible: Repeatedly: AT Pierson “never saw til 100th time!”
Read the Bible: Patiently
Read the Bible: Selectively: who, what, etc
Read the Bible: Imaginatively
