“More to be desired are they [God's words] than gold, Yea, than much fine gold;”
God's words as spoken to us through the Bible are more precious than the finest treasures in the world. Men spend years laboring after earthly treasures, yet there is a reward so much greater. Each and every verse found in the Scriptures. Because of this, it is to be sought after and desired with greater eagerness and vitality.
Men risk their lives, forsake pleasures, and renounce ease for the desire to attain gold. Should we not have even half the love that these men have for their earthly treasures? In fact, we should have more! For our treasures are a thousand times better than what they pine after. God’s Words are of inestimable worth.
Imagine what it would be like if we really treasured God's Words more than moneys or riches, or anything else in this world! What if we actually sought after it more than any other earthly (and perishing, may I remind you) treasure? Think about this.
Psalm 119:14 “I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies, As much as in all riches.”
Psalm 119:92 "The law of Your mouth is better to me Than thousands of coins of gold and silver."
Psalm 119:127 "Therefore I love Your commandments More than gold, yes, than fine gold!"
Let us likewise treasure God's words more precious than gold, because they truly are. It's not a matter of simply believing something to be true in our own heart, but aligning our hearts with the truth. Because the truth is, God's Word is more precious than gold. The question we must as ourselves is, do we really believe this to be true? And more than that, do we live each and every moment of our lives treasuring God's words above everything else?
