What makes anything a treasure for us? A treasure has to change our lives in some powerful way. A treasure makes us do something different once we know how precious it is for us. How does God’s Word become that treasure for us that makes us do whatever it takes to keep it and live with it all our life long? For me, the Holy Spirit had to open my eyes and my heart to receive the powerful message of the Bible. Before the Spirit did His work, the Bible was just words but after the Spirit came, those words were like a love letter from my wife which I read over and over looking for meaning hidden beneath the lines. Then a second treasure came to me. God gave us the “Daily Texts.” Using the T.R.I.P. method of praying the daily verses freed me from my codependency which was wrecking my life. In both experiences, I know what the Psalmist means by rejoicing more in the word than in great “spoil” or earthly treasure. It is our prayer that as you listen to these podcasts and pray the “Daily Texts” you may also see this experience as your priceless treasure.
I rejoice at your word like one who finds great spoil.
Psalm 119:162
The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and reburied; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
Matthew 13:44
Heavenly Father, thank you for your holy word. It is a treasure that brings me joy. Through your word you provide wisdom, guidance, encouragement, and strength. I find you in the pages of the Bible, and in the process, I find who you created me to be. I am your beloved child. Thank you, Father. Amen.
