The Words of Life are contained in a book
Open its pages, if you dare-take a look
Already written are God’s plans for your life
If you follow Him closely, you can avoid much strife

Jesus is the way, His directions are on each page
Its truths never changing, from age to age
Words of Life that can be collected, read, and stored
Are contained in a book and called the Spirit’s sword

Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power
In the day of battle, He will be your high tower
Nothing can touch you, but that He is aware
You are His workmanship, a treasure so rare

Psalm 139:16-18 – “…. all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. 17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand—when I awake, I am still with you.”

Jeremiah 29:11 – “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Ephesians 2:10 – “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

Psalm 139:1-18
Jeremiah 29:11-14
Titus 2
Ephesians 6:10-20

It is in following God’s Word, the Bible, that we can be sure we are fulfilling the destiny God has for each of us. Psalm 139:16 says that the number of our days and our accomplishments were written beforehand in heaven before one of them came to be. What an awesome thought that God knows the way we will take. 

Secrets buried long ago hidden in a cave
Flickering torches lighting the contents of the grave
Temple treasures hidden there beyond the reach of men
Until the time to be revealed and put to use again

Angels stationed by its entrance hiding it from view
Messages written down to provide the future with a clue
“Now it’s in the hands of God,” they were heard to say
They sealed the contents of the cave and then knelt down to pray

Many moons will pass over the entrance to this cave
Until its contents are revealed and resurrected from its grave
Once again, the Temple will stand upon the hill
The words of the prophets are about to be fulfilled

Isaiah 2:1-3 – “This is what Isaiah, son of Amoz, saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
2 In the last days the mountain of the LORD’s Temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and all nations will stream to it. 3 Many peoples will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the Temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.” The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.”

Ezekiel 37:24-28, 43:1-12

As I asked what the Lord had on His heart this morning, faint thoughts of men with torches hiding things in caves came into my mind. It seemed these items were not only hidden by the caves; they were hidden by the prayers that were being prayed. I sensed they were treasures from the Temple put there for safekeeping. One day they will be revealed again at just the right time in God’s plan. Even though the Roman General Titus carried off the main Temple treasures to Rome in 70 AD, there are thought to be more Temple treasures buried and hidden until the future rebuilding of the last Temple.
