Happy Monday Everyone! Let's get this week started right!
Today's Topic: Treasure Seeker
Scripture Text: Proverbs 2:1-5
Yes, beg for knowledge; plead for insight. Look for it as hard as you would for silver or some hidden treasure.
-Proverbs 2:3-4 (TEV)
A family was panning for gold in a river near our home. They sloshed into the water at the river's edge and positioned the sluice box (a grooved trough used for separating gold from sand and rocks). The husband scooped in a shovelful of mud from the river bottom. Water flooded the box, washing away grains of sand. Dead leaves and twigs floated to the surface. They cleaned out this debris, along with larger rocks and pebbles, and scoured the bottom of the trough for precious flakes of gold.
As the wife watched, she realized that we are like soil from the river bottom: worth something but also filled with debris. But when we dig into and apply God's word to everyday circumstances, the Lord filters from our lives what is useless. When we seek the treasure in the Bible, God helps us discover it.
As scripture permeates our hearts and minds, it cleanses us of destructive emotions. Ephesians 4:31-32 tells us how to deal with bitterness and anger. Philippians 4:6 helps us confront anxious thoughts. The Bible offers solutions for attitudes that block us from becoming the people God created us to be. As we live the truth from God's word, our lives can shine with substance and lasting value.\
Prayer for the Day:
Thank you, God, for the priceless treasures you reveal to us as we read the Bible. Amen
Thought for the Day:
God builds on the best in us
Stay Positive Family. If I haven't told you lately, I love you. May God bless your week!
Peace and Blessings
