One of the rarest metals on Earth, gold holds value for us in a variety of ways. Of course, we use gold in our jewelry, but it’s also vital in dentistry, electronics, and currency.
One bar of gold weighs 26lbs and is worth over $640,000 USD!
The United States federal reserve has a gold vault that lies 8 stories underground and holds over 350 billion dollars worth of this precious commodity.
The steel vault that protects all this gold itself weighs 150 million pounds!
That vast wealth and the resources necessary for its protection are nearly inconceivable.
But did you know that the Bible says that your FAITH is FAR MORE valuable than GOLD!?
Here’s my question for you today:
Are you protecting the precious faith God gave you as much as the federal reserve is protecting their gold?
1 Peter 1:7
“These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold–though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.”
Be encouraged today because God is with you.
