An old farmer with his three sons lived in
a village. The father asked his sons to work in the field along with
them, but the young fellows were very lazy. They did not want to work
hard in the field, like their father.
One day the farmer fell sick and he was about to die. So he called his sons, and told them, "Sons, before I die, I want to tell you a secret. Under the ground in our field, there are some hidden treasures. If you dig the land properly, you will surely find them." After telling this, the old farmer died.
The boys finished funeral formalities of their father. Then, one day all the three brothers went to the field and began to dig the land thoroughly from one end to the other in order to find the hidden treasures. But they did not find anything and were disheartened. Now the eldest brother told the other two to sow seeds in the land, as the land had already been ploughed thoroughly. They did so and took care of the farm. After a few months, they found good crops in their field. They reaped the harvest, and made large profit by selling them.
The eldest brother told his two brothers, "Brothers, I've understood what our father had meant by the 'hidden treasures'. The hidden treasures are the good crops that we found by digging the land properly and sowing the seeds there."
Dear Friend, our heavenly father also has hidden valuable treasures for us in the Bible. If we dig them deep and read it with the help of the Holy Spirit, we can find precious and priceless valuables that will take us to great heights. If you seek for it as silver and search for it as a hidden treasure, you will discern the fear of the LORD and discover the knowledge of God. (Proverbs 2:4-5).
