Treasure. Whether it is a high-tech underwater expedition or one person combing the beach with a metal detector, people have been seeking it for years. One treasure hunter discovered a huge stash of 52,000 Roman coins buried in a field in southwest England. These ancient silver and bronze coins dated from the third century A.D. are valued at $5 million!

I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my portion of food.

Job 23:12

It’s easy to dream about finding similar riches. However, Psalm 119:162 says, “I rejoice at your word like one who finds great spoil.” The Bible is God’s treasure chest. As you earnestly pursue His wisdom, you will find precious truths worth more than any silver or gold. As you discover the hidden gems of God’s Word, you will find the presence, power and peace of Jesus Christ.

Ask the Lord to give you a hunger for His Word that’ll keep you wanting more, and start digging for His treasure as you spend time reading your Bible. As you do, you will fall more in love with the One who loves you unconditionally. Pray also for your nation’s leaders – that they will discover the truths stored in God’s Word and apply them daily to their lives.
