God’s Treasures to Inherit

Ponder This
I was reading about a man named Vido Miti. He was a Spanish student in Barcelona, and he was working on his Ph.D. in philosophy. Vido was in the library blowing the dust off some of the old books of philosophy, and he found a book that had been in the library for no one knows how long. As he was going through the book, he found some paper inside it that he opened up and read. It was the philosopher’s last will and testament.
It said, “Whoever finds this in this book will inherit my estate,” because the writer didn’t think anybody would read his old, dry philosophy book. But there it was. Vido Miti took that to the authorities. They read it and said, “It is valid,” and he was awarded $250,000, the full estate of the old philosopher. I wonder how many treasures are in God’s Word that God wants us to inherit, but we’ve never blown the dust off the Bible.

FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
