Full Riches!

Colossians 2: 2 – 3

My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding,

in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

On Saturday, as Debbie and I were driving down the highway, she said she needed to stop at either Walmart or Shopko.

As we drove by Shopko, and saw the cars backed up to the frontage road, she decided to make other plans.

And Walmart as we drove on by, had the same exhaustive issues.

People this time of the year, are mining for treasures like never before.

UPS yesterday alone, was supposed to handle over 394 million packages nationwide.

In just a few days, all this crazed excitement will be all over.

This Friday, will be the start of the Christmas hangover for many.

Christians are supposed to on a different kind of treasure hunt.

Our daily quest, is to gather as much of the precious gems of spiritual insight, that we can.

We should be preoccupied, with gaining the full measure of spiritual assurance and understanding.

Only found in the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, are the hidden treasures of such wisdom and knowledge.

Maybe if gaining Heavenly riches were our first priority at Christmas, maybe then there wouldn’t be such rampant disappointment when it was all over.

How is your treasure hunt going these days?
