Pro 2:1-2, My son, if you receive my words, And treasure my commands within you, SO THAT YOU INCLINE YOUR EAR TO WISDOM, And apply your heart to UNDERSTANDING;
Solomon continues trying to teach his son wisdom and understanding; for wisdom and understanding cannot be given like an inheritance it must be learned! In the same manner, GOD is trying to teach HIS children, by HIS written word!
Pro 4:1, HEAR, MY CHILDREN, THE INSTRUCTION OF A FATHER, AND GIVE ATTENTION TO KNOW UNDERSTANDING;
Pro 8:17, I LOVE THOSE WHO LOVE ME, AND THOSE WHO SEEK ME DILIGENTLY WILL FIND ME.
Pro 2:3-5, Yes, if you cry out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding, If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures; THEN YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THE FEAR OF THE LORD, AND FIND THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD.
Do we seek the LORD as we do silver or gold? Do we treasure money more than HIS word? PEOPLE DON’T REALIZE THAT ON OUR LAST DAYS ON EARTH WE WON’T TREASURE SILVER NOR GOLD; THE ONLY THING THAT WILL MATTER IS OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD AND OUR FAMILY!
Psa 90:12, SO TEACH US TO NUMBER OUR DAYS, THAT WE MAY GAIN A HEART OF WISDOM.
Pro 2:6-7, FOR THE LORD GIVES WISDOM; FROM HIS MOUTH COME KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING; HE STORES UP SOUND WISDOM FOR THE UPRIGHT; HE IS A SHIELD TO THOSE WHO WALK UPRIGHTLY;
If we lack wisdom ask the LORD for from HIS mouth comes knowledge and understanding!
Jas 1:5, If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
Seek the LORD for HIS time is near; seek the LORD for all other things we treasure most in life will not matter at all! Seek HIM with all your heart and HE shall be found by you!
Jer 29:12-13, Then you will call upon ME and go and pray to ME, and I will listen to you. And you will seek ME and find ME, WHEN YOU SEARCH FOR ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART.
