A SMALL JEWELED BOX

Matthew 6:20
Store your treasures in heaven,
where they will never become moth-eaten or
rusty and where they will be safe from thieves.



I’ve had the pleasure of being a part of three life-threatening treasure hunts and on each of those journeys I could easily see the bottomless pit that is man's desire for riches and wealth. By the time that Alexander the Great died, his armies had already conquered most of the known world. His armies had even defeated King Darius of Persia and taken all of the kingdom's spoils. Alexander the Great, however, kept for himself only one item from the war's booty: a small jeweled box that housed an original copy of The Iliad. The value of this book to Alexander could hardly ever be overestimated. You know, there’s an even better book that’s far surpassed all the books ever written throughout the generations: the Bible. It's the treasure chest of wisdom from God. Whether you're searching for riches, guidance or inner peace, read the Bible and you'll find the map that will lead you wherever it is you're meant to go.
