God’s word is filled with treasures.
His word is adorned with His majesty.
It is to be desired more than gold or silver or costly gems.
it is the riches of the Spiritual realm.
Grasp the intention, hear what He is saying.
It will change you and cause your spirit to flourish.
The word will cause your flesh to be weak and your spirit to be strong.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom;
teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns
and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Colossians 3:16
Jesus is the word.
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1
By reading it and accepting it and humbling yourself before it,
you will gain great treasures that will help you to genuinely put it above
your own ways as you will appreciate the beauty and power of His word.
