Not long ago we drove to KERIKERI, about 100 km south from Kaitaia, to pick up something.
Kerikeri is a beautiful place and it is not difficult to fall in love with the township. My dictionary of New Zealand Maori Place Names tells me that the meaning is “to keep on digging.”
The name of the township is a challenge for me. I am reminded that I am a person who is digging for treasures. My silver and gold mine is the Bible.
In Job chapter 28 at the beginning we are told:

“‘There is a mine for silver and a place where gold is refined. Iron is taken from he earth, and copper smelted from ore.'”
My tool to dig is prayer. I know that the more time I spend in prayer the more treasure I find.
As yet I don’t know why the meaning of Kerikeri is “to keep on digging,” but I know that I keep on digging for treasure in the Bible.
And here is one of the Golden Nuggets I have found:
“For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid which is Jesus Christ.”
Please tell me where you find that nugget in the “BOOK OF BOOKS.”
