The Word
Our
Treasure Box
A Treasure Box of the richest kind has already been given to us by God. Greater than anything we can imagine is the perfect gift created exclusively for each of us. All these exquisite Words put into One Book given to us by inspiration of God.
He gives the gift of the Treasure Box but we must be willing to open the Box and investigate. The longer we linger and intentionally search each amazing jewel is revealed.
Each Word is a precious jewel that waits to be taken out and examined. Like the Treasure Box the Word of God must be opened by a key. This key can only be given by the owner Himself. The Holy Spirit is the key to unlocking the Box.
When we stand back and simply look at the opened Box laying there all the jewels reflect the light. As we look into the opened box some jewels appear to illuminate more than others. Calling out to us to pick one and take the time to explore its depths and beauty individually. Just as we read the Word one sentence or one word jumps out as if it were calling attention to itself. As we take the time to see the cuts and angles each jewel holds we begin to see the jewel in different lights. When we study one jewel at a time we discover the richness and see the intricate beauty. All together the jewels are rich and delightful. Yet when we take the time to pick one up and look deeply the abundance in color and detail explodes in our eye gate and there is beauty in understanding.
In our Treasure Box just like the Word of God has thousands of Words. Each Word has facets that reveal the heart of God to each of us. What an amazing Treasure Box there is always a new jewel to investigate as well as the ones that we already treasure and are familiar. Interestingly each time we take one out that we have already studied there seems to be a new facet we had not “seen” before.
Each day as we come to ask for the Key to open The Treasure Box we have been given a Treasure beyond measure. This priceless gift has been given at such a great cost and given with amazing love. It is a choice to open the Box and take out the special jewels each day. It is a nugget that is more profound that words can express because these jewels are given by the Holy Spirit into our spirit. They live eternally and internally in our hearts and minds.
The Word of God is always amazing and so incredible that only deepcan cry out to deep. The scripture that began this journey seems so profound to me right now because it is a full circle.

7 So Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before them all these words which the LORD commanded him.
