Whether you know it or not, you possess many treasures to "bring out" and share with your students.

Priceless among these treasures are the truths you have learned from God's Word. Unsurpassed in beauty, value and depth, no other treasure you might possess will do more to satisfy spiritual hunger and life's needs. No other gem in your storehouse can compare with the pure, fiery, multi-faceted diamonds of scripture.

Glowing warmly among your treasures like rare rubies are those life experiences, yours and others, that illustrate how the truth you're teaching proved itself out in a practical life situation.

Glinting here and there, scattered throughout your vault room, are rare coins that are the thoughts, insights and experiences of Godly men and women throughout the ages. These coins of rare minting will help to instill the lesson truth in the students hearts and inspire them to "taste and see that the Lord is good"(Psa 34:8) for themselves.

How does your treasure grow? You add to your treasure through prayer, Bible study, reading good books, listening to solid preaching and teaching, etc. You can also increase your treasure through simply observing life around you or in casual conversations. The lodes of ore from which your treasure is refined are myriad.

The most effective way to increase your treasure, however, is to give it away! Your vault is of limited capacity. If you hoard this treasure, it tends to get rusty, become corrupted and even disappear. If you dispense it freely - lavishly - you discover more and greater treasures are being mysteriously added to your store.

Be a good householder. Bring out your treasures - old and new - and share them with your students. Any one of the precious artifacts you dispense can change a life, for now and for eternity.
