The old adage for real estate is that value is determined by
the three L’s: location, location,
location. Properties with nice views of mountains
or water or sunsets generally have a higher value. Properties that are near schools or shopping or
recreation can also have a higher value.
Location is also a huge factor in our relationship with God
and our ability to worship Him.
Jesus said that the pure in heart shall see God (Matt 5:8). In terms of great views, that one tops them
all!
In terms of being near, the Psalmist wrote that it is good
to be near God (Ps 73:28). James wrote
that when we draw near to God, He draws near to us (4:8). This drawing near, according to the writer of
Hebrews, is not necessarily going to a geographic location, but it is a matter
of the heart – we draw near to Him with a true heart and a full assurance of
faith (10:22).
Location, location, location…having a wonderful view or being
near to that which is desirable normally increases value in real estate. Of greater value is our relationship with God
and a geographic location does not necessarily enhance the view and nor does it
necessarily being us nearer. With
worship, location is all about the heart!
