Priceless Treasure
Priceless Treasure
“44 The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.” Matt 13:44 NIV
God’s word in a priceless treasure
When its wisdom is found
But few bother to search
And be taken to higher ground
They follow the teachings of man
Because that’s so easy
Don’t ask the Holy Spirit
Rather tend to seek the clergy.
There’s nothing like a soul
Whose honestly searching to find
The truth of man’s existence
And his future by God designed.
To search the pages of God’s word
Is to seek for Priceless Treasure
That can be found therein
In unequalled joy a measure.
Heaven must be frustrated
To see how casual we can be
Not bother about our future
So self-engrossed in this life’s flurry
Did you know we’ve been given
All the wisdom that we need
To live a life of worth
And to heaven can accede?
If the kingdom of heaven
Is like hidden treasure
Why are we not all searching
Diligently at any length and any measure?
I guess it’s because we’re deluded
To the seriousness of sin
And think that regardless,
We still have a chance, eternity to win.
