The Treasures Of God
January 21 & 22, 2023
January 21 – Daily Reading – Genesis 42 – 43 / Matthew 13:36-58
January 22 – NO READING
GOD’S WORD:
Genesis 43:23 And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them.
GETTING INTO GOD’S WORD:
People have been searching for lost or hidden treasures for years. What a joy after hunting and searching to find the reward at the end of it all. It almost makes you forget all the time and toil that went into finding the treasures you have sought. But what if the treasure searched for you?
Joseph’s brothers were scared when they found that the money, they had brought to buy food from Egypt was back in the top of their sack along with the food. This did not seem like a treasure, it felt like a trap. In Genesis 43:18 it says, “And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph’s house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses.” They were sure it was a trap. However, in today’s verse Joseph’s Steward tells them; “…fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks:…” In other words, because of your God, the treasure found you.
If we would stop for a moment to look back at our life, we will see that along the way, God has sprinkled treasures into each of our lives. Most often treasures we were not even searching for. Blessings he spread along our way. Placing a treasure to find on top of His provisions for us.
GETTING GOD’S WORD INTO ME:
James 1:17 says every good gift is from above. If we realize that, our heart begins to treasure all that is above. Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. If God becomes the treasure we seek, our heart is there with Him..
Could your heart be the treasure God has been seeking?
THE WEEK IN REVIEW:
God is a very personal God. He’s involved with our lives in a very personal way. In this past week we have seen…
● The Touch Of God
● The Time With God
● The Terror Of God
● The Testing Of God
● The Truth From God
● The Treasures Of God
He’s personal because we are family. Revelation 21:7 “He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.”
Enjoy today with your church and hear what God has prepared in the heart of His man for you this week.
See you tomorrow.
