A Treasure That Needs To Be Hid Psalm 119:11

There is a treasure that needs to be hid

Psalm 119:11

Psa 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

I- The Treasure- God's word

      1- It is desired more than gold Psalm 19:10

      Psa 19:10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

      2- It is desired more than food Job 23:12; Jer 15:16

      Job 23:12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

      Jer 15:16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.

      3- They testify of the Lord John 5:39; Col 2:3

      Joh 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

      Col 2:3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

II- The Treasurer- Us

      The definition of a treasurer is one who has the care of a treasure or treasury. We have the privilege to take God's word that has with stood the ages of time and pass it to generation to generation.         We have to be faithful stewards of the treasure and keep it safely within us but at the same time share it that others will come to know Christ and become treasurers of their own.

III- The treasury- My heart

      I John 4:15&16

      1Jn 4:15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

      1Jn 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

     

       Our hearts need to be like Ft. Knox, impenetrable, the stronger we make our hearts, minds and souls the better equipped we are to stand against the attacks of Satan and can be more victorious in        our battles to win souls for Christ.

       Mat 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

       Mat 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

       Mat 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

      Isa 33:6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.

      Mat 12:35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
