Firstly, Lay your Gold(self) in the dust, consider world as a dung.

Here’s my first reason that your supreme happiness in God is your highest obligation — and that your delight in God is your greatest duty. When Jesus was asked, “Which is the great commandment in the Law?” He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment” (Matthew 22:35–38).

The great and first commandment is that we love God. And the essence of loving God is that we delight in God, that we enjoy God, that we find God to be our all-satisfying treasure — our gold.

“If you lay gold in the dust . . . the Almighty will be your gold. . . . Then you will delight yourself in the Almighty and lift up your face to God.”

Loving God is not first working for God. Jesus said, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments” (John 14:15). He did not say loving me is keeping my commandments. He said, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” Love is first. Commandment-keeping follows. Doing is fruit. Loving is root.

This is probably why Jesus put the heart first in this highest duty: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart.” The heart is not the organ of performance. It’s the organ of preference. It’s not the organ of doing for God. It’s the organ of delighting in God. Therefore, the great and first commandment is: Delight yourself in the Lord! Enjoy this Person above all persons. Treasure him above all treasures. Lay your gold in the dust. Treasure the Almighty as your gold. Then you will delight yourself in the Almighty and lift up your face to God.
