Beyond Blue Diamonds

“I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.”
Psalm 119:162

One of the most valuable gem stones in the world is the blue diamond.
Its value can range from $50,000 to $500,000 dollars per carat, or more.

That value is probably why we never see blue diamond engagement rings and blue diamond pendants. Very few can afford to wear such “blue bling”.

If I were digging in my garden and unearthed just one of them, I’d be ecstatic to say the least.
I’d probably shout excitedly and hold the little blue beauty with trembling hands, watching it shimmer and sparkle in the sunlight.
My pulse would be elevated beholding such rarity. My mind would race pondering the opportunities of my newfound wealth. I’d be rejoicing with such value in my hands.

Do you know what should be just as exciting as finding a single blue diamond?

Finding these truths in a single verse of Scripture:

God loves me!
God loves you!
God gave us Christ!
Christ died for us!
Faith in Christ is enough!
Jesus gave me life!
I’ll never perish!
Eternal life is mine!

Eight truths from the most popular verse in the Bible…John 3:16.
Those eight truths changed my life when I realized how much value God placed on me and every person he has ever created.

How much value do you place on your Bible?
Does it excite you as much as a single blue diamond?

Does it motivate you as much as money does?
Do you get excited to dig through it every day to see what the Lord will reveal to you?

Some days, I don’t read my Bible like I should…and I suffer for it.
The Scriptures are rich with wisdom, and when we take the time to read them we find beautiful gems of truth that will help us to be victorious during the trials of life.

Rejoice in His Word! Thank God that you have it!
Rubies, emeralds, and even blue diamonds can’t touch the value of God’s Word.
If you have the Word of God in your hand and the Lord in your heart, you’re richer than you’ll ever know.

Keep your armor on.
