Can anyone ever fully understand God? I guess the answer will be ‘no’ because if they did, then they would be God. I don’t understand why He would love man so much and then desire that we would also love Him in return. Even the angels were surprised that God would not only make man but esteem him so highly.
Today, I am thinking about the treasure that is hidden in His word and all hidden therein for you and I because of this great love that God has for us. Why would God hide so much in His word? I wonder! But He has and so there is no going round His word if we are going to succeed and truly be great. You can never have enough of His word. Nobody can overdose on it.
The word of God is like a treasure chest with a lot of treasure hidden therein and the most expensive ones are mostly hidden deep down so you have to search deep to get them. The more I study the bible, the more I learn new things about God which give me a better understanding of Him. As you discover new things about Him, you get excited. Sometimes, you feel like jumping for joy. God is indeed exciting. Of course, if you don’t’ discover new things about Him, He becomes boring and one begins to look for excitement in the wrong places when it’s all in the word.
John 1: 14 “So the word became human ad made His home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen His glory, the glory of the father’s one and only son.”
There is no gift like the word of God. The greatest gift of all times is truly His word – Jesus Christ. The bible tells us that Jesus is the living word of God. He is the word personified; so that in Jesus we have all the treasure we need and will ever need to live as head and not tail. We have all we would ever need to be lenders to nations. We have all we will ever need to be in health, live a righteous life and then make heaven. Truly, through His word God made all things and will ever make anything that has to be made.
John 1: 3 “God created everything through Him, and nothing was created except through Him.”
God’s word is His “jewel of inestimable value.’ It is His pearl that He does not cast before swine so that simple as it is, not everyone is able to access this treasure chest. Even if they read forever, it will just be a book to them; at best, a book that talks about God but the deep things/treasure hidden therein will not be revealed to them. What an awesome privilege we have as children of God to be granted access to this treasure. A privilege not to be taken for granted or ignored. He does get sweeter and sweeter.
Mathew 7: 6 “Don’t waste what is holy on people who are unholy. Don’t throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you.”
Do you dig in this treasure chest? How often do you dig into it? All you can ever have is dependent on how deep you are able to dig. It is time to go back to studying His word.
