Seek the Lord, fear Him, then taste and see that He is good. When we set the Lord always before us our hearts are glad for He shows us the path of life and gives us fulness of joy.
Moses sought the reproach of Christ, which is better treasure than all the riches of Egypt. He escaped the riches of Egypt just as we must escape from the riches of this world. One of our glorious rewards is the Holy Spirit of promise whereby Jesus and the Father dwell in our hearts.
Seek the Lord, increase your knowledge of the God that He might glorify you to partake of His diving nature as He promised. He found the Kingdom of heaven and recognized the value of the reward then turned wholly unto God leaving behind his old beliefs and habits.
Modern men think they are rich and have need of nothing while living in miserable spiritual poverty. Seek the Lord and buy His gold, the unadulterated truth of the word of God and white garments which are the true righteousness which comes by faith.
Psa 34:4-10 RV I sought the LORD, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. (5) They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces shall never be confounded. (6) This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. (7) The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. (8) O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. (9) O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. (10) The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.
Seek the Lord, fear Him, then taste and see that He is good.
Psa 16:8-11 RV I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. (9) Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall dwell in safety. (10) For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol; neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption. (11) Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; in thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Heb 11:24-26 RV By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; (25) choosing rather to be evil entreated with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; (26) accounting the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he looked unto the recompense of reward.
Eph 1:11-14 RV in whom also we were made a heritage, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his will; (12) to the end that we should be unto the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ: (13) in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation,–in whom, having also believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, (14) which is an earnest of our inheritance, unto the redemption of God’s own possession, unto the praise of his glory.
2Pe 1:1-4 RV Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ: (2) Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; (3) seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue; (4) whereby he hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises; that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.
Mat 13:44-46 RV The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in the field; which a man found, and hid; and in his joy he goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. (45) Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a merchant seeking goodly pearls: (46) and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
Rev 3:14-21 RV And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God: (15) I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. (16) So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth. (17) Because thou sayest, I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art the wretched one and miserable and poor and blind and naked: (18) I counsel thee to buy of me gold refined by fire, that thou mayest become rich; and white garments, that thou mayest clothe thyself, and that the shame of thy nakedness be not made manifest; and eyesalve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see. (19) As many as I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. (20) Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. (21) He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit down with me in my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father in his throne.
