Proverbs 2:1-10
Seek Understanding
1 My son, if you accept my words
and store up my commands within you,
2 turning your ear to wisdom
and applying your heart to understanding,
3 and if you call out for insight
and cry aloud for understanding,
4 and if you look for it as for silver
and search for it as for hidden treasure,
5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD
and find the knowledge of God.
6 For the LORD gives wisdom,
and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 He holds victory in store for the upright,
he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,
8 for he guards the course of the just
and protects the way of his faithful ones.
9 Then you will understand what is right and just
and fair—every good path.
10 For wisdom will enter your heart,
and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
God wants us to seek understanding and wisdom...He wants us to question things...
Solomon in second Proverbs tells us to seek understanding and wisdom...We need to search for understanding, (as we would search), with the zeal of looking for a hidden treasure...If we seek this insight and cry out for the insight of understanding we will "find the knowledge of God"....
Blind faith sometimes is not enough...Search and you shall find, knock and the door will be open to you, ask and you shall receive...God wants you to find the answers to the Truth...
