Your Hidden Treasure!
"I rejoice at Your Word as one
who finds great treasure."
Psalm 119:162
Earlier this year, a volunteer for a charity in Arizona was
going through books donated for a sale. One was an old
copy of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. The
volunteer decided the volume was not worth saving and
was about to throw it away when she thumbed through it
and found a hidden chamber. Someone had used a knife
to cut a hole in the middle of the book. Inside was $4,000!
That’s nothing compared to treasure you’ll find when opening
covers of the Bible. Perhaps it would help to think of it in those
terms. Use your imagination to see every word of Scripture turn
to gold as you read it. See every promise as a precious stone.
See words of Jesus in the Gospels as sparkling like diamonds.
Visualize your daily Bible study time like a miser running his
hands through a chest of gold.
The treasury of Scripture will enrich your mind, refocus
your goals, replace your doubts, and redirect your path,
but only if you read it and heed it. Start today!
"To get the best use out of [the Bible] for daily life.…
Give it the best and freshest, not the most tired
and dull, hour of the day."
M. S. Kimber
