SEARCHING

"So that thou incline thine ear unto
wisdom, and apply thine heart to
understanding;
Yea, if thou criest after knowledge,
and liftest up thy voice for under-
standing;
If thou seekest her as silver, and
searchest for her as for hid
treasures;
Then shalt thou understand the fear
of the LORD, and find the knowledge
of God.
For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of
his mouth cometh knowledge and
understanding." Proverbs 2:1-6

Like searching for buried treasure -
that is how we are to seek God and
His Word.

To find God and His character, we'll
have to dig, seek, ask and probe His
word diligently.

Some hope to put in as little effort as
possible, then they accept superficial
results and want everything to come
easily.

Many important insights aren't on the
surface. They only come with digging.

God has prepared blessings for us.
Wisdom, insight and understanding.
But we are advised that to receive
them, we are to seek them as if we
were seaching for silver and gold or
any other hidden treasure.

We must not be content with shallow,
and fleeting ideas that are popular to
the world. We need to look for God's
wisdom, understanding, knowledge,
and truths.

He has countless treasures for us but
they are buried in His Word.
