Let’s Go On A Treasure Hunt
Day 146 of Photo Inspirations — Let’s Go On A Treasure Hunt
I admit it…..I love the notion of finding hidden treasures. This must be my impedus for doing treasure hunts for my grandkids — for every birthday since they understood what it was about — but even before they could read. The big kids handled the reading of the clues, and quite often, because they could read, they’d head out to the next clue location before the little guys could get there. Now, we hold back the big kids so the little kids can find the clue. And once all the clues have been found, they find their hidden treasure — the wrapped up “treasure” from Nana.
And, we adults totally get caught up in the journey of watching them look here and there, doing their best to understand Nana’s methodology, and finally figuring out the clues along the way! I love their wide eyes of excitement.
The fact is…..we’re ALL on a treasure hunt as we journey through life. God made us for the journey. AND, best of all, He gives us so many clues in His Word to find the hidden treasures. Every place He says “IF you…..” is a CLUE to success. And when we follow the CLUE to the nth degree, then we are assured of finding the treasure. Example: “IF you pay attention to these laws and are careful to follow them, then the LORD your God will keep his covenant of love with you, as He swore to your forefathers.”
Deuteronomy 7:12
“IF you make the Most High your dwelling – even the LORD, who is my refuge – then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.”
Psalm 91:9-10
Jesus said: “IF you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”
Matthew 6:14-15
Have you been searching and searching for the key to your success, the open door that leads to prosperity, the matchmaker that brings you your significant other, the magic potion that gives you restored health, the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? Then I urge you, today, to begin searching for the treasures in God’s Word. The Bible is God’s treasure chest where He has so many valuables just waiting for you!
