God's peculiar treasure

Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine. Exodus 19:5

What a wonderful promise for those who obey God's Word!

What an honor to be God's peculiar treasure!

Treasure is something that is sought after diligently. God sought out His people. Many sacrifices are made to find the treasure. God made the greatest sacrifice, giving His only begotten Son.

A treasure is a precious thing that is guarded with care and the one who has it will not tolerate its loss . Precious to God is His redeemed people, and He will not allow the enemy to take away His treasure.

Treasure is an object of joy. God delights in His people.

Isn't it wonderful to be the treasure of the Lord of all, the Omniscient, the Almighty,  the King of Kings?

To be the Lord's treasure requires obedience to God's Word; obedience that is heartfelt, not outward, permanent, not temporary, in all things, not in a few things.

If God's Word is my treasure, I am His treasure, His peculiar treasure.
