Proverbs Day 9
Proverbs 2:1-5(KJV):
"My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God."
Thought for the day:
In these verses, God says if we seek for His knowledge like searching for silver or hidden treasures, we will find it. Searching for treasure requires one to:
· Inquire where the treasure might be found
· Find a map to help in the search
· Get the tools to dig for it
· Find the right people to help in the search
· And finally: Actually dig for it
Also, we must realize when we approach the Bible to read it, this Book cannot be read as a common novel. It is a Holy Book and it cannot be simply read with the natural eyes, and studied with intellect alone. We must bring our hearts to God when we read and study, if we are to gain His knowledge. This book was inspired by the Holy Spirit and to gain its knowledge and wisdom we must have the Holy Spirit to interpret and enlighten it to us. We must have spiritual ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to us. If we seek for this Book's treasures, we shall find gems of truth and un-mined gold within its pages.
