Search for Wisdom!

Search for Wisdom!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who incline their hearts to understanding. In Jesus’ name, amen.

King Solomon encourages the readers of the second chapter of Proverbs to seek wisdom. When the seeker of wisdom is attentive, inclines his or her heart, calls out for insight, and seeks it like silver, he or she will be closer to discovering what Proverbs 2:1-5 (ESV) puts on the level of hidden treasure.

“My son, if you receive my words
and treasure up my commandments with you,
making your ear attentive to wisdom
and inclining your heart to understanding;
yes, if you call out for insight
and raise your voice for understanding,
if you seek it like silver
and search for it as for hidden treasures,
then you will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God.”

Have you taken your quest for godly wisdom seriously? If not, why not? If not or if so, search Scripture for answers.
