My friends,
What is your
treasure? In what does your heart trust? Is your faith lost because of
affliction? It is by this very affliction that we come to know Almighty God
through Jesus the Christ. There is a path one walks and when one comes to a
fork he makes a decision either to the left or to the right. Treasure is not in
this physical world where g.o.d. (gold, oil, diamonds) rules.
Treasure is in the
heart where God rules, Holy Scripture tells us that treasure is in salvation
and the riches of salvation are wisdom and knowledge. Isaiah the Prophet tells
us this is so and the Apostle Paul tells us where this can be found. Jesus the
Christ is the wisdom and knowledge, these are the riches that we should seek
and until we learn this we will have nothing, all worldly riches will be burned
in the last day and if we do not have this wisdom and knowledge found in Jesus the
Christ then we will be lost for eternity for we will have nothing.
Physical riches
burn, spiritual riches can never burn nor deteriorate but are for eternity. Do
not be dismayed at this world and those who would persecute and abuse you,
constantly seek the riches found in the wisdom and knowledge of Almighty God of
which these things are found in Jesus the Christ and therein lies salvation.
Isaiah 33
1 Woe to those who distress you, though no one is causing you
distress, and he who deals treacherously with you, though no one is dealing
treacherously with you! Those who deal treacherously will be conquered and
handed over, and like a moth in a garment they will be defeated. 2 O
Lord, have mercy on us: for we trust in you: be our arm in the morning, and our
salvation in the time of trouble. 3 At the voice of the angel the people
fled, and at the lifting up of Yourself the nations are scattered. 4 And
your spoils shall be gathered together as the locusts are gathered, as when the
ditches are full of them. 5 The Lord is magnified, for he has dwelt
on high: he has filled Sion with judgment and justice. 6 And
there shall be faith in your times: riches of salvation, wisdom and knowledge:
the fear of the Lord is his treasure.
Colossians 2
1 For I would have you know, what manner
of care I have for you and for them that are at Laodicea, and whosoever have
not seen my face in the flesh: 2 That their
hearts may be comforted, being instructed in charity, and unto all riches of fullness
of understanding, unto the knowledge of the mystery of God the Father and of
Christ Jesus: 3 In whom are hid all the
treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
In Christ,
