Something more than GOLD!!
Psalm 19:10-11
The decrees of the Lord……More to be desired are they than gold, yes much more than fine gold…..
Gold is a precious metal that is treasured above all other metals. This is because of its characteristics. Pure gold can last for several years without losing its brightness. All you might have to do is to wash it.
It is used for jewellery, as money or wealth, for interior and external decorations etc.
In the passage above, the Psalmist says the word of God is to be desired or sought after more than gold. Gold has several good qualities but it can be destroyed but the word of God will abide forever. It cannot not be destroyed.
There are stories of houses being burnt to ashes but the bibles in the house stayed intact. It could not burn.
The bible was written by the inspiration of God and even if it is destroyed, God can raise men and women to re-write it.
2 Timothy 3:16 says
All scripture was given by the inspiration of God and it is profitable for doctrine, for reproof and correction in Christ Jesus.
Acts 3:6
Silver and gold, have I none, But such as we have we give unto you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth “Rise up and walk”.
This verse from the new testament says the power in the Name of Jesus is also to be desired more than silver and gold.
Matthew 28:18 says
…..All power in heaven and on earth has been given unto me….
After His death and resurrection, all power was given unto Jesus. In His name you can do all things ( Philippians 4:13)
The word of God and accepting Jesus as your Lord and Saviour gives you something much more than gold.
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Accept the gift of salvation and live according to the directions of the word of God.
Prayer
Let this song be your confession and prayer
Something more than gold
Something more than gold
If all I have is Jesus
I’ve got something more than gold.
Quelque chose mieux que l’or
Quelque chose mieux que l’or
Si, Je n’ai rien que Seigneur Jesu
J’avoir quelque chose mieux que l’or
Amen
