Imagine you’re in a desert in the middle east. It’s a hot, terrible place with basically no way out. No food or water or shelter. And no idea which direction to take.
Then, out of the blue, a ghost appears and leads you to food. In fact, you walk into fields of juicy, tasty produce. Not only that, but the ghost shows you how to get honey and good fats from the ground. Now, that’s what I call hittin’ the jackpot.
Well, the ghost is a real person. And the scenario I just shared is based on a true story found in the Bible. It’s about how God took a man named Jacob and made him into a nation…Israel.
And his no way out story went like this:
“He found him in a desert land and in the wasteland, a howling wilderness; He encircled him, He instructed him, He kept him as the apple of His eye. As an eagle stirs up its nest, Hovers over its young, Spreading out its wings, taking them up, Carrying them on its wings, So the Lord alone led him, And there was no foreign god with him. He made him ride in the heights of the earth, That he might eat the produce of the fields; He made him draw honey from the rock, And oil from the flinty rock…”
Wow. From sand and rocks to honey and oil. Do you believe the Bible is just a “bunch of fairy tales” or “myths” or “made up stories by delusional men?” Those are all quotes from centuries of doubters.
If you’re a member of any of those categories, you’re walking alone in a desert land whether you know it or believe it or not. And I gotta tell ya, that’s unimaginably sad. Because the road to happiness isn’t a road you take alone.
Also, it’s a road paved with love and gold.
And it’s a road that leads out of the wasteland and into Heaven. No one will ever force you to go, if you don’t wanna go. But, just so you know, there’s no way out of the place where you’ll end up.
So, I encourage you to read the Bible. And discover why it’s the bestselling book of all time.
Read it with an open mind and heart. Because it can change your wilderness-roaming heart to one full of love, purpose, and focus. And I can tell you about the power you can feel, when you KNOW where you’re gonna live forever. But you need to experience it. And it ain’t some silly metaphysical “feeling” either.
It’s a promise from God. And it’s where you’ll find true Love and Gold…
Dig deep and find the treasures for your heart.
The Bible is the perfect place to start.
And as the words unfold, revealing love and gold,
The life God gave you never will depart.
