A Northern California couple was walking their dog when they stumbled across some rare gold coins buried in the shadow of a tree. Nearly all of the 1,427 coins, dating from 1847 to 1894, were in uncirculated, mint condition. Coin experts estimated their worth at ten million dollars. “I don’t like to say once-in-a-lifetime for anything, but you don’t get an opportunity to handle this kind of material, a treasure like this, ever,” said a veteran coin dealer who is representing the finders. “It’s like they found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.”

Treasure up my commandments with you.

Proverbs 7:1

Isaiah 33:6 says, “And he will be the stability of your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is Zion’s treasure.” A nation’s wealth is not in gold, silver, real estate or weapons. Its treasure is in the people who fear the Lord. People who are Christ followers. People who read God’s Word. People who pray for their family, friends, neighbors and leaders.

Ask God to keep you accountable as one of those people. Remember, it’s your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a significant difference in America.
