Proverbs 2 - the right choice keeps you safe and secure

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. (Proverbs 2:4-5)

Do we seek after God and His wisdom like seeking for hidden treasures? Are our pursuit of godliness like the seeking of silver?

Sometimes it is really funny how we go all out to achieve something in life (academic excellence, chasing after someone we like, wealth, strange collectibles, level up in our games, gyming to achieve the shape you want, etc etc), but we never really have used the same kind of motivation/enthusiasm in our pursuit of God, have we?

It is really difficult especially as we get busier and busier in life; I am finding that fatigue is one big barrier that is blocking my way to God. That is why Sabbaths are especially precious (and it's just one more day to Sabbath!) and are by God's grace.

By making the choice to pursue after His wisdom, by receiving and treasuring His words within us, it can save our lives.

But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. (2 Timothy 3:14-15)

Let us encourage each other never to give up seeking after His heart.

But from there you will seek the LORD your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul. (Deuteronomy 4:29)

I love those who love me,

and those who seek me diligently find me. (Proverbs 8:17)
 
You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. (Jeremiah 29:13)
 
It is His promise that whoever seeks Him diligently, and with all his heart, shall definitely find Him.
