TREASURES
TREASURES
Dear children of God treasures are the source of man lay up
in earth. The point of question is where we lay up our treasures, whether in
earth or in heaven. People are Hunting treasure in the land, island, under
seas, mountains, caves, and everywhere they can find. In the olden days people
from every country were started to invent and discover new lands, seas, islands
and continent to own the treasures. Many wars were happened between countries
to own the treasures. Jesus said that do not lay up for your selves treasures
on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break-in and steal, but
lay up for your selves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust
destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure
is, there your heart will be also.
The writer of
Ecclesiastes, Solomon took venture to get happiness to enjoy everything for
himself. He found out the truth of enjoying all comforts, treasures and that
was only emptiness and vanity. To discover the truth by enjoying comforts,
treasures, folly, and drinking wines, enjoying life with wives and concubines,
he came to the conclusion; all are vanity, sorrow and pain to heart. Solomon had
also great possessions of herds and flocks, more than any who had been before
him in Jerusalem. He had also gathered for himself silver and gold and the treasure
of kings and provinces. He got singers, both men and women, and many
concubines, the delight of the children of man. So he became great and
surpassed all who were before him in Jerusalem and also his wisdom remained
with him. Whatever his eyes desired he did not keep from them. He kept his from
no pleasure, for his heart found pleasure in all his toil, and this was his
reward for all his toil. Then he considered all that his hands had done and the
toil he had expended in doing it, and behold, all was vanity and a striving
after wind, and there was nothing to be gained under the sun. Surly a man goes
about as a shadow! Surly for nothing they are in turmoil; man heaps up wealth
and does not know who will gather! Those who trust in their wealth and boast of
the abundance of their riches? Truly no man can ransom another, or give to God
the price of life, for the ransom of their life is costly and can never suffice,
that he should live on forever and never see the pit. For he sees
that even the
wise die; the fool and the stupid alike must perish and leave their wealth to
others. Their graves are their homes forever, their dwelling places to all
generations, though they called lands by their own names. Man in his pomp will
not remain; he is like beasts that perish. This is the path of those who have
foolish confidence; yet after them people approve of their boasts. Be not
afraid when man becomes rich, when the glory of his house increases. For when
he dies he will carry nothing away; his glory will not go after him. For though, while he lives, he counts himself
blessed and though you get praise when you do well for yourself- his soul will
go to the generation of his fathers, who will never again see light. Man in his pomp yet without understanding is
like the beasts that perish.
