A TREASURE TO BEHOLD

I loved the first day of our homework. I am excited that God is already revealing things to me and I pray you are feeling the same way. Have you ever seen the movie, "National Treasure"? In this movie there is a guy by the name of Ben who is on the hunt for what he believes to be the biggest hidden treasure in history. He is actually the third generation who has been searching for this treasure. It started with his Grandfather, then his father and now him. He was told about this treasure when he was just a small boy and it quickly became his life's obsession. Think about that for a moment. The search for this treasure became a part of his life. Of course, he worked hard to find it and there became great opposition along the way. His so called friend turned on him because of greed to find the treasure all for himself. I love this movie because Ben the good guy does win. He finds the treasure and becomes extremely wealthy. Not only does he become wealthy but he also gives a great bulk of the treasure away to museums and institutes to be shared with the world.

So, what if as a Christian who has put my trust in Jesus Christ and calls him the Lord of my life was that committed to knowing Him. WOW! Do you think that if we become obsessed with KNOWING our creator, obsessed with FOLLOWING Him, obsessed with LIVING for Him and obsessed with sharing His good news with others that He would be glorified through our actions. YES! I believe that some Christians today are living a life of mediocrity because He isn't first in their lives and in their everyday thoughts. So, at the end of the movie Ben finds the treasure and becomes very wealthy. What about our treasure that we have in Jesus Christ? Our relationship with the Almighty God is our treasure that awaits us when we really become committed, yes even obsessed with knowing Him. Teaching future generations to come the importance of knowing Him.

I want to encourage you to stay focused on our journey that we have before us. I am so excited about what God is doing and is going to do in our lives. HE IS OUR TREASURE! HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!
