Isaiah, Chapter 33, verse 6:
6 That which makes her seasons certain, her
wealth, salvation, wisdom, and knowledge, is the fear of the LORD, her
treasure.
Wherever
your treasure is that is where your heart is and our hearts are made for the
Lord. Fear of the Lord means that we
have a father/son relationship of care, respect and love. Our God does not want to be objectified as
some obtainable good. Nor does our God want
to be appeased with our prayers and obedience. God is not a insurance agent
that guarantees us against losses if we pay our premiums in prayers. If God is our treasure, he is our star, our
life, our everything.
In
the Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Gaudium of the Holy Father Francis, he
states:
We
have a treasure of life and love which cannot deceive, and a message which
cannot mislead or disappoint. It penetrates to the depths of our hearts,
sustaining and ennobling us. It is a truth which is never out of date because
it reaches that part of us which nothing else can reach. Our infinite sadness
can only be cured by an infinite love.
“Man from La Mancha”. If God is our treasure he should be our Impossible Dream because we are His.
