The Devotional – 1003 – A Treasury above the treasuries

The Devotional – 1003 – A Treasury above the treasuries

It was said before the turn of the year 2000 that the treasury of California exceeded the treasury of South Korea. In those days I would say “wow” imagine that! Looking at Wikipedia I found that there are 206 governing authorities claiming sovereignty, but only 190 are acknowledged by the United Nations. Each national authority has a treasury and yet in the judgment and justice of God all of these are ONE platform of wealth. The wealth of the world is but a mere “speed bump” to the SECOND platform of wealth which is contained, controlled and preserved in the LAW, the TESTIMONY, the STATUTES, the COMMANDMENT, the JUDGMENTS and the FEAR OF THE LORD. Psalm 19:7-10.

Comments and Challenges:

Within the treasuries of nations, there are the treasuries of local governments, of families and individuals so one might think; “so why do the people mourn, starve and become carried away with evil schemes? Proverbs 2:1-5 addresses this question but there are few who read and fewer still who read and seek to understand.

“My son, if you receive my words, and treasure my commands within you” now if you did not get the challenge; read it again! Are the commands of God viewed by you and me as part of our eternal treasury?

“So that you incline your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding” which way is the ear bent today? Are we tuned into the economies of the world around us, or are we applying our heart to understand what the will of the LORD is for us personally and nationally? Do you cry out to the LORD daily for discernment in these matters?

Solomon continues: “If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures; THEN you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God” We read, study and discern daily the Living Word of God, yet we always seem to miss the mark of God’s intended purpose in His Word. Proverbs 2:7 says that the LORD stores up SOUND WISDOM” for the upright. If you have faith in Jesus you are one of the upright; stored up for you is the treasury of wisdom; the Wisdom of God, not of the world. And He is waiting for you to acquire the blessing found in Proverbs 2:9.

Take the time today to read and absorb the value of SOUND wisdom and yes we are working our way to the Epistle of James, but there are many of nuggets of gold and silver to search for along the way. This search along the way will be fulfilling the words of Jesus, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things (the Law, the Testimonies, the Statutes, the Commandments, the Judgments and the Fear of the LORD) shall be added to you. Matthew 6:33.
