What is
your greatest treasure? Your children, parents, job, money or is
it something else? Something you may not even know about never picked up
or something you did you, just moved
and/or
laid down in a new place to gather dust.
Think about
it for a second you'll see what I mean "Greatest Treasure." To build a
house you
need a
set of blue prints. To build or put together a car, you need a guide and
or blue prints.
Have I
got you a bit curious as to what this treasure is? Do you know that without
it, there
would
be no parents, children, jobs or money to enjoy. Aha! now that I have your
attention,
I will
tell you what the "Greatest Treasure, is." Oh it comes in many colored
covers, some
gilded
in gold but it's what is between the covers that is it, "Yes, your right!
The Holy
Bible.
The Bible was written for divine inspirations on how to conduct yourself
in all
holiness.
Below I am going to give you some more gold nuggets to think about...
hence
the blue
print for living.
The Bible
is the largest seller of any book.. It was written by 40 men
who
engaged
in writing it for a period of 1600 years.
Dating
from 1500 B.C to near 100 years after Christ. These men wrote as the Holy
Spirit
moved them. 2 Pet 1:21. They wrote not in words of human wisdom but in
words
taught by the Holy Ghost. 1 Cor. 2:13.
There are
66 books of the Bible. The Old Testament has 39 and the New
Testament
has 27. Good huh? and the Blue print keeps going. The Bible has 1189
chapters
with the Old Testament having 929 and the New Testament 260. Only two
chapters
in the whole Bible are alike. 2 Ki. 19; and Is. 37. Now lets see what we
can find
in this
"Greatest Treasure." Well we can find all about backslider
by reading Hos, 14, the
Beatitudes
. Mat 5,6,7 (Now this is a blueprint for living, if I ever saw one.)
Please
find the time and read this, it'll help you build a solid foundation
one that
won't
crumple in the wind. You can find comfort in Ps 23:4, Go check out "Prayer
at
Dan. 6;
Holy Spirit John 14; Joy. Is, 12, you want safety lets continue to build..
why not?
read Ps 91: Here we go...Old age Eccl. 12. Overcomers Rev. 2,3
For some
really good instruction read Prov.1, Frailty of life Ps.90.
How about
Love? read 1Cor.13.
The Bible
has 31,173 Verses and 592,439 words in the old Testament and 181,253
words
in the New Testament. with words only occurring once , Eternity Is. 57
;15
Reverend
Ps. 111:9 Grandmother Tim. 1:5 and Gnat Mat. 23:24. How many authors
have you
read in your lifetime that can do that? Repeat words are the authors bread
and butter.
The Bible wasn't written for gain but to teach one how to live with
Peace,
Joy , honesty ,Integrity even in times of trouble we can pick up this book
and find
answers to all life's problems.. how? Because we're not alone, somewhere
out there
someone else has already went through the same thing and you know
what?
They came through with the help of the bible. I could write this blueprint
till
my fingers
fall off but I am not going to..Why should I take all your joy away by
not
letting
you read for yourself "The Greatest Treasure." Come on now you know your
ears picked
up and interest peaked. Go get the Bible now and read " A man who
lived
to be 969 years old Gen. 5:27..good genes or what:-) or "Baby had a scarlet
thread
tied around his hand when he was born Gen.38:28-29. How about this one?
A man
had a
bed 13 1/3 feet long and 6 feet wide Deut. 3:11. Another "the sun stood
still for
a day
Josh. 10: 13 an army with seven hundred left handed men Judg. 20:16 Now
that your
appetite has improved for "The Greatest Treasure." Lets keep going shall
we?
If your traveling anywhere in the world, most of us need a map to find
our way,
right?
In every city or state there are directions. Signs that tell us what street
we're on .
Signs
on the highway "No u turns,stop, Yield, caution, oneway, do not enter and
so on.
The bible
is like that, it gives directions for clean living, Loving your neighbor
as you
would
hope they love you. It tells you what path through life you should trod
on. Infact
the bible
tells us how not to get lost but if we are lost, it tells us how
to be found.
(Don't
forget to read John. 3:16 it is not only the corner stone but to accept
would bring
new life,
new hope and a new beginning.) Why not pick up this "Greatest
Treasure"
and read
it for yourself? The Bible says that " Now is the accepted time of
the Lord .
God Bless
and enjoy "The Greatest Treasure." God's directions are never wrong!.
In his
service, Claire and Anna.
