Playing Marbles With Diamonds

Grace Sight #16 is the song Playing Marbles with Diamonds.

Playing Marbles With Diamonds is a song by Steve Camp. It made its debut back in 1989 on Camp's album Justice. 

When I listen to this song I think of how important it is to have our priorities straight and have a real relationship with God.  A relationship with God is like a diamond that people like me too often have taken for granted.  A passage from the Bible comes to mind also.

"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal (Matthew 6:19-20, English Standard Version)."

Our world is full of so much suffering and uncertainty today.  Let's not play marbles with diamonds. It just not the way God meant our lives to be lived.
