The Works of the Lord

Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. 2The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. 3His work is honourable and glorious and his righteousness endureth for ever. 4He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion. 5He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant. 6He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.   (PSALM 111:1-6).

What is Faith in God. It is the belief that I can better my life, nay change it or should i say exchange it for that which is far greater than I as a human being could ever experience had I lived a life without God himself. All the great things of such a life a divine life as I call it are hidden, 'The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein' everything of true value of the mind, the moral and intellectual are hidden and have to be searched out through a union with CHRIST and his God.

Hidden things, Life itself is hidden, the new man in Christ has a life hidden in Christ, Christ has a life where treasures of the divine are hidden in him, the truth of who God is, hidden in Christ, the truth of who we are hidden in Christ. and it is in him our peace is hidden our hopes are hidden our potential and prosperity is hidden, our gifting and destiny. 

The believer is a treasure hunter, a Gold hunter, The Aussie God hunters those in the Outback of Australia have their mind set on the discovery of God and its through a variety of mining techniques that they mine for the gold. Through, isolation,  heartbreak and ultimate resurrection they make their find knowing that just one discovery could change their lives forever.

Has God no less treasure in his Person and his word! Should not our pursuit of the divine be as engaging as it is the Aussie hunter who seeks earthly treasure? What if you could find written in his book your life as did Josiah. What if you, now going astray were to find your divine destiny in it's pages what if you whose life seems wasted and empty were to find life words direction for your soul within its pages, what if you who knew no peace or joy were to find eternal rested and forgiveness for your sins with God, is it not worth the hunt, the investigation, the time to seek the word with sincerity and interest.

The works of the Lord are great sought out by all who have pleasure therein. All the treasures, yes treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hid in Jesus Christ, that's even a goldmine of know how for the entrepreneur the business man. that's who God is, you too can know his secrets and discover his help, his wisdom and his mind. Why because he is ever mindful of his covenant (v5) his covenant between us.
