Preamble
Hello…..
Welcome……
How are you doing?
Me?
I have been super stressed for the upper half of September but gratefully, I am doing better now.
Let us ride into today’s topic.
Types of treasures
Treasures are a collection of elements that are deemed precious and durable and of high value. They can be anything, however some elements have consistently been accepted as treasures from time.
They include :
- Gold
- Silver
- Diamond
- Precious stones
- Stainless steel
- Copper
- Bronze
- Brass
- Platinum etc
I did not mention all, help me with the rest in the comment section.
Today, guess which I would be talking about?
You already know 🙄
What is your favourite treasure?
Precious Stones
I love stones. I will pick them over gold 🙂.
Don’t tease
I love them so much.
Rubies, Emerald, Diamond, Beryl and……
Well, I learnt some of their names while reading the Bible. They are mentioned many times in the book of Exodus, Leviticus and Revelation.
They include:
- Jasper
- Sapphire
- Chalcedony
- Emerald
- Sardonyx
- Sardius
- Chrysolite
- Beryl
- Topaz
- Chrysoprasus
- Jacinth
- Amethyst
Revelation 21:19-20
And Pearls. I love…. Pearls 🙈
I was opportune to see some of them which I will share in today’s post. It coincided with when I finished reading this particular book of the Bible so it was like practical 😊
The curator in the shop told me that most of these stones were sourced from the water bodies (e. g The Nile), under the ground and from sea shores. Some of them came from South Sudan, Ethiopia, Egypt and Sudan.
You are a treasure
You are because you are.
2 Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. (KJV)
You can chose what your treasure
You have the choice to chose what to treasure.
Matthew 13:44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. (KJV)
What you chose as your treasure is a reflection of what is important to you
Your treasure defines where your heart is. It is a determinant of what is most important to you.
Matthew 6:20-21 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. (KJV)
What is your treasure?
What is?
Defining what treasure is to us will help shape our principles and reason for living. It will be a background of how we conduct our lives and the people and things we can accomodate.
End Note
As much as we are treasures, we need to live as one. We need to live as people whom God considers as treasures. The struggle is that we sometimes cannot see ourselves the way God sees us and thus we suffer.
God understands
However, we still have the choice to chose Him or not.
God is the treasure we should never ignore or loose.
I will like to end with this verse
Luke 6:45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.(KJV)
Knowing the word of God is a healthy of way of keeping God’s treasure in our heart. As we meditate on it day and night, it builds our faith and hope in God.
Thank you for reading to this point.
I thought I would have more to write but alas, I stop here.
These past days have been overwhelming (I already mentioned that) but the upsetting thing is that as soon as I am out of one phase, another phase starts again.
Anyway, I am learning to cope with the fluctuations and I trust God to continue helping me. Amen.
As much as I enjoy creating these posts, I really desire that they bless you, the reader.
I pray they do 😊
