My kids like to dream about what it would be like to be rich. They have a million and one ways to spend their wealth. They are never far from a list of "wants". Today the list includes a trampoline, a new phone, a better iHome, shoes, etc., etc. So many things that will bring happiness. Or so they think.
What I want them to learn is that they are already rich beyond measure. Our God is the greatest treasure! He alone will satisfy our deepest longings. He alone will bring true joy. He alone will meet our needs.
He alone.
Lord, you are the most awesome of treasures, and can fill every want and need. You are the treasure that is not hidden far from us, and when we seek you, we will find you! I pray, dear Jesus that my children's eyes are open to the truth that you alone will satisfy every longing, meet every need, and are the richest of treasures. Oh what rejoicing to be done when we receive your inheritance as your Sons and Daughters. We are rich in you, Father! You are the greatest treasure, and I pray that Alyssa and Kyle will grab hold and live in the wealth that comes as your children. You alone, Lord. You alone.
P.S. Vacation Bible School starts today...we are going on a "High Seas Adventure". Therefore the idea for today's blog about God being our Treasure! Oh to pass on this powerful message this week! I'd covet your prayers!
