 Treasure entrusted to you:

 

2 Timothy 1:14

14 Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to you.

 

            There is a treasure that indwells us. People throughout the years have delighted to go on a treasure hunt. Well, we need a map to go on a treasure hunt. That map is the Bible. It says that the way to get to the treasure is to look inside; for there is where it’s located. The treasure is not in the things of this world, but in the things of the Spirit world. It’s inside us … a real, honest-to-goodness treasure more valuable than any of this world. We just need to make use of it. We learn how to do that through the Spirit who indwells us.

 

If you could hear God speak, I believe this is what He would say:

            "You have within you a treasure beyond compare. It is something that the men of old deeply desired, but were unable to obtain it. It is the indwelling presence of My Spirit. They knew Me from afar, but you know Me from within. This treasure has been given to you to help you and those around you in time of need. He will guide you into all the truth. You will not have to guess what My will is; for He will show you what My will is and how to walk in it.”

 

            24. God has entrusted to me a special treasure. I will not fail to live up to my obligation to take good care of that treasure residing in me.
