Treasures of Wisdom and Knowledge

Colossians 2:2-3; "That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge."

The treasures of life ... wisdom in Christ, thru Christ. What is the treasure in your life? For me right now it is growing in wisdom of the Word. I truly have the faith that by growing closer to my God, ALL things will be shown to me. I've struggled in the past knowing, understanding what my treasured gift for this world could possibly be ... now I'm on a treasure hunt to step into the future.

Am I ready? you betcha! I'm going forth everyday confident in the knowledge that what I seek, I shall find. Life is a college where we can all earn our higher degree as long as we continue to learn, grow, seek. The more you seek, the more you find, the more you want to find. But what happens when you stop seeking and settle? You can do just that, settle into the ground like a house on it's foundation ... settling can lead to cracks. Do you want to end up cracked? or keep moving, living, multiplying, being fruitful! What is an alternative? being planted ... like the tree planted by the river of living water. Living is moving.

2 Corinthians 5:17; "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

Yes, I'm on that band wagon again...let all things old, holding you back be passed away so you can enjoy being new ... everyday! When you find the treasure within yourself, keep looking for that treasure in your relationships ... family, friends, spouse, co-workers, God. The joy of the treasure of the Bible is that there is new treasure daily, many times a day, and it's yours for the asking.

"Oh, how generous and gracious our Lord was! He filled me with the faith and love that comes from Christ Jesus" 1 Timothy 1:14

Go forth and seek ... look for that treasure and who knows, you just may meet Captain Jack Sparrow along the way ... now what an adventure that would be!!
