Treasure Hunts
We all have probably sung, "Lord you are more precious than silver, Lord you are more costly than gold, Lord you are more beautiful than diamonds, but nothing we desire compares with You."
The Andrews family enjoys a good treasure hunt. We do them inside and out. Over the years I've tried to add a scriptural element to the clues we use and the seekers are often required to recite a verse before being able to go onto the next clue.
The Bible uses treasure to relate to the value of spiritual things.
Let's get hunting.
May we treasure the wisdom and knowledge of God.
"Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways." Romans 11:33
"For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth." Deuteronomy 7:6💗
"In the way of your testimonies I delight as much as in all riches...Therefore I love your commandments above gold, above fine gold." Psalm 119:14, 127
"There is gold and abundance of costly stones, but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel." Proverbs 20:15
"...that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God's mystery, which is Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." Colossians 2:2-3
