In Times of Extreme Drought -- Find Your Treasure!

.

It's becoming more and more spiritually dry in this world - will anything good ever come out of this mess? When things get low, and dry, and sparse, suddenly when we least expect it, God can reveal treasure that we couldn't see or know about - there are many possibilities, and we ought to be looking for them, though they might appear when we least expect it

“Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, And the strength of salvation; The fear of the Lord is His treasure.” - Isaiah 33:6 

As California enters its third year of an intense drought, with nearly 60 percent of the state now in an "exceptional drought", it reminded me of a story that happened in Israel.

It was 1986, in the midst of a three year drought, when two brothers who lived in a kibbutz near the Sea of Galilee made an incredible discovery.

As these two fishermen monitored their equipment on the lake, they noticed something glistening in the sun covered in mud.

It was a fishing boat.

Upon deeper examination, archaeologists determined that these two brothers had discovered an ancient boat from the time of Yeshua (Jesus).

It's was called the "Jesus boat" and is now located in a museum next to the Sea of Galilee.

Hidden under water for centuries, the only reason it was discovered was that the severe drought had lowered the lake surface so drastically; so that even when no one was looking for it -- this treasure was discovered totally unexpectedly.

You may have noticed -- it's becoming more and more spiritually dry in this world and sometimes I wonder, will anything good ever come out of this mess?

Yet I think the same thing can happen for us as happened to those two fishermen.

When things get low, and dry, and sparse, suddenly when we least expect it, God can reveal treasure that we couldn't see or know about because everything was abundantly okay.

Maybe it's a friendship that blossoms because of the pressure or need ... or, maybe just a new and deeper insight into the Lord's own sufferings; or maybe a new spiritual gift of encouragement ... there are many possibilities, and I think we ought to be looking for them, though they might appear when we least expect it.
