Hidden Treasures
Today's Scripture
"And I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness�secret riches. I will do this so you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name" (Isaiah 45:3, NLT).
Today's Word from Joel and Victoria
Did you know there are treasures hidden on the inside of you? There are gifts, talents, and abilities inside of you that you don�t even know about. Oftentimes, it�s during seasons of difficulty or darkness that those hidden treasures are revealed to us. When we go through times of adversity, strength arises, new abilities arise, new talents. We are "reinvented" so to speak.
I think about when my father went on to be with the Lord. It was a dark hour for me, but out of that difficulty the Lord revealed hidden treasures on the inside of me that I didn�t even know about. Look at David in the Bible. Before Goliath, he was known as a shepherd boy. But after he conquered Goliath, after he went through that adversity, he was known as a mighty warrior, and eventually, a mighty king.
If you are going through a difficulty today, if you lost your job or a loved one, remember, God still has a purpose for you. He�ll take what the enemy meant for evil, and He�ll turn it around for your good. Keep standing, keep believing, keep hoping because He�s ready to reveal those hidden treasures on the inside of you!
A Prayer for Today
Heavenly Father, I come before You with an open and humble heart. Let Your Word sink deep into my Spirit. I trust You and look for the hidden treasures You have deposited on the inside of me. In Jesus�Name. Amen.
