Many people spend their whole lives looking for some great treasures in distant lands only to have missed great treasures (and great joy) close to home and close at hand. Treasure hunting can be as simple as 1-2-3-4.... as in 12:34 Luke, "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." (NIV) So, as you go about your 'treasure hunt' today, start in God's Word. In it you will find life and hope and peace and healing and so much more. Then whenever you get upset (with your kids or co-workers or other life situations) and you start counting to ten to calm yourself, by the time you get to 1-2-3-4 you should now have a different perspective on what's really most important in life.
Now I realize that there are some people who don't like the 'easy way' (i.e. 1-2-3-4) but need a challenge in their lives. How about the odds of '6 to 1'? Does that seem fair? Could you accept those and still be enthusiastic about finding your treasure? Sure...if you are thinking of 6:21 Matthew which is the same reference as in Luke..."For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." (NIV) Either way, you will bring to mind a great verse and important spiritual insights as you Take Time for God's Word today and always. I hope you have great success on your treasure hunt today and that it will last forever.
