Psalm 119:162 Treasure

 

I rejoice in your promise
like one who finds great spoil.

Psalm 119:162

The Bible is not a treasure map.

The Bible is a trip diary diary and the people who wrote it are regaling us with true stories about the treasure they have found and how they found it along the one road of life. They have been there and done that and found that.

David tells us about the treasure he has found in the promises of God. But there's an unexpected aspect to this tale of where and how he found this treasure. It's unlike nearly every other story of found treasure you've ever read.

The treasure is still there to be found by you and me!

All any of us has to do is get on our feet and put on our walking shoes and start moving down the path God has set out in front of you.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Romans 8:28

God has called you to a purpose. The treasure is in pursuing that purpose, all the while knowing God is working alongside you toward that purpose

Just like David did. Just like Paul did. Just like Jesus did.
