Movies, books, and television programs excite our imagination when they present stories about hunting for treasure. The pirates of old amassed great forunes in gold, silver, and jewels. Some of those riches are still hidden to this day.
But there are treasures far more valuable than anything you can find in a buried treasure chest or a sunken pirate ship. Those treasures are found in the Bible. We call them the Promises of God, and their value is beyond measure!

Like so many Americans, we need to get back to the faith of the Bible. We need to read and study it. Doing so will help open our eyes to the great Truths of God. One of those great truths is that God has promised to give us Eternal Life. Many believe, that eternal life is some future goal, but that goal can be lived right here and now! He will answer our prayers, if we are truly seeking His will for our lives.
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be openen to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it woll be opened."
Christians can pray with confidence knowing that they have a great High Priest that will intercede on their behalf. God is love, and He is the greatees giver (James 1:17). He even wants to give us the earth as an inheritance (Matthew 5:5). Eventually, God plans to give us a even greater gift. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son (Revelation 21:7).
We have just here our President, who presented his agenda for 2010 and beyond. Agendas can certainly be developed, but if they are not centered in God's will; they, like all others, will fail. It is time to put your trust in the One who can make a difference.
