“Your Bible is your greatest treasure. Don’t rush the reading of the
Bible. You have the rest of your life to read the Bible, so read the Bible for
the rest of your life.”
Psalm 119:162
I rejoice at Your word as
one who finds great treasure.
I
love watching treasure hunter documentaries on television. They are always
filled with intrigue and adventure. We watch as the presenter and his team,
metal detector in hand, climb into a deep cave on the hunt for a pirate’s
treasure chest loaded with pieces of eight and gold bullion. Sadly, however,
they never seem to find the object of the investigation.
However, there is a treasure that you and I can find without scoring the depths
of a cave. This treasure is more valuable than gold and sweeter than honey and
the honeycomb. It is the auspicious treasure of the word of God.
It is said that when the famous missionary, Dr. David Livingstone, started his
trek across Africa he had 73 books in 3 packs, weighing 180 pounds. After the
party had gone 300 miles, Livingstone was obliged to throw away some of the
books because of the fatigue of those carrying his baggage. As he continued his
journey his library grew less and less, until he had but one book left – his
Bible.
The Bible is a library of 66 books penned by 36 people over a period of 1,500
years, yet all the writings of these ancient scriptures are in agreement. All
scripture is inspired by the One true God. In my 4 decades of following Christ,
I have found the Bible to be my greatest guide. However, the holy scriptures of
the Bible do not stand alone. The word of God is synonymous with the Spirit of
God, for the word of God is the sword of the Spirit. The word confirms the
actions of the Spirit while the Spirit activates the word.
Make reading the Bible a daily habit. Your Bible is your greatest treasure.
Don’t rush the reading of the Bible. You have the rest of your life to read the
Bible, so read the Bible for the rest of your life.
God-tracking is reading the Bible.

Get into the word of God and get the word of God
into you.

“Dear Lord, I pray that you will always
activate your word in my life by your Holy Spirit.”
“Dear Father, thank you so much for
the treasure of the Bible. Thank you for inspiring the writings of Scripture
and thank you for preserving these scriptures for millennia. Thank you that
your word has influenced my life. I choose to make it my ambition to read the
Bible for the rest of my life. Dear Lord, I pray that you will always activate
your word in my life by your Holy Spirit. Amen.”

What is GodTracker?
GodTracker is a weekly e-mail Christian motivational thought, written by
Dudley Anderson, based on the premise that God has a plan for our lives. His
Word calls us to seek his plan by acknowledging him in all our ways and by
tracking his purposes, in faith. Most of what you’ll read is based upon the
author’s personal experience of tracking the plans of God.
