Precious

“The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.” (Psalm 119:72)

What do we consider precious? Is it our possessions or our talents? Is it something that we have obtained ourselves?

The Bible talks about many precious things:

Psalm 116:15 tells us that the death of a saint is precious in the sight of the Lord.
Proverbs 8:11 tells us that wisdom is precious. That is why Solomon asked for wisdom rather than riches or fame.
Isaiah 26:16 tells us that there is a precious cornerstone. The cornerstone of our faith is our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 1:4 tells us that we have great and precious promises.
1 Peter 1:19 reminds us that the blood of Christ is precious.
1 Peter 2:7 reminds us that Jesus Christ is precious to us who believe.

What do you consider precious? Those things that will pass away or those things that will last for eternity?
