In that day He will be your sure foundation,
providing a rich store of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the
LORD will be your treasure. Isaiah 33:6
In that day…what day? The day…the time that
Christ’s kingdom is established with the New Jerusalem as the center. Jesus is
our salvation—now. He is the source of knowledge and wisdom—providing us with a
stable and righteous foundation. What more can we ask or expect? Of course, He has
our respect. My study Bible references Matthew 6:33 for treasure. I love the
song that was written from this scripture. Seek the
Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you
everything you need. Matthew 6:33. Along
the same thought…Store your treasures in
heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and
steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.
Matthew 6:20-21. We love and respect the things…and people…that we hold
dear to our hearts…that we treasure. I personally treasure relationships more
than things. I do treasure my relationship with the Lord. Without Him my life
would be meaningless and likely filled with anxiety. With Him, I find peace,
joy and contentment. Yes, just as Paul wrote to the church in Philippi, …Not that I was ever in need, for I have
learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost
nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every
situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little.
For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. Philippians
4:11-13. Verse 13 is the key verse…I can
do all things through Him who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13 NASB. Find
your strength in the Lord.
Prayer
~ Lord God, continue to fill me with contentment in whatever circumstances that
I find myself. Your love never fails—I find new joy in You every morning. You,
Jesus, are my treasure...my salvation—as
well as my source of knowledge and wisdom. May You continually be glorified in
all that I think, say and do.
