Proverbs 2:1-5
My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you,
turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding,
and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure,then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.
Proverbs 2
Moral Benefits of Wisdom
1 My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you,turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding,and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure,then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.
Wow, do I "call out" and "cry aloud to understand the things of God? Or do I more often times doubt and shrink away from pressing into God due to my own impatience in wanting my own timetable? I can see both at work within me. What a challenge is laid out here: If I want to understand God's plans and who he actually is, I need to store his word away in my heart, I need to be a "hunter" for his treasure. I need to constantly seek him with urgency. Too often it's too easy to treat our lives, as something other than a God treasure hunt. Let's today decide to take our map (his word) and set out to find him. Lord, help me to call out and cry aloud to you, help me to fervently seek you, not shrink away, no matter what this life throws at me, in Jesus' name, Amen.
