  • Treasure Hunt

         Treasure that can change one's life is still out there to be had in this world! What is treasured and valued with people can be different which they believe that can change their lives!  Gold or wealth of some kind is considered precious but when one has a lot of wealth how many true friends to they have around them?  How many people are around them or contact them to get their gold? What happens if the gold runs out by not making choices that help it last?

         Winning a car is exciting! Yea, but that car does start reducing in value once drived off a car lot, taxes to pay on it, and each year at is it in on the road it creates the need for repairs that will cost you. How do you value the car when it comes undependable? There are many things that we can win but what is the lasting value? Yes, the memory of winning it can be great but also memories as life goes on can dull the shine of the first memory as life goes on. Sometimes, it is funny how a good memory can turn into a memory of regret to see how life turned afterwards. There is treasure that does not last as treasure later in life.

         Peace in life is a treasure, but where can that be found? Faith in Jesus Christ in a personal relationship is about living a life that seeks out God in His Word and Prayer. The Word of God is a treasure map in life full of God's Promises to build one's life on that will affect all eternity! What kind of treasure you find in this world can do that? God's Blessing on our lives as we chose to live for Him makes a difference in how one looks and deals with life. 

         Hunting is seeking which can take time and be challenging. How many people give up even searching for treasure of this world? Many will begin to seek this  treasure but can get distracted in so many ways or just wants to do it their way instead of following God's  Word in the Holy Bible. Examples of this are in parables about sowing seed in various types of ground/lives in the Gospels in the New Testament.  

         Seeking treasure is our choice including what kind of treasure we seek. Why not seek treasure that can last for all eternity and able to share with others for all eternity? God's Word is full of treasure to share with others as the more is share the more it grows!!! It is our choice to stop seeking by so many distractions this world has to offer? Why settle for something that fades away verses treasure that lasts for all eternity!!!!
