Have you ever participated in a treasure hunt? When I was younger, I was fascinated by the idea of searching for (and finding) hidden treasure. I even had a metal detector. Although I never found anything other than a few nickels and dimes, it didn't matter because they were my nickels and dimes which I had found and they were special to me. Even today I still have those “treasures” in a little box.
Do you know that God also has treasure for us today? He has given us the greatest treasure hunt of all, one that each and every one of us can participate in, and it is not a race where only the first person to find the treasure wins it all, but there is a personal treasure for each and every person – and there is more than enough treasure to go around. Today we will be exploring this grand treasure hunt and see what we find.
