And if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. Proverbs 2:4-5
I have known poverty. I have felt the penalty of wastefulness and I have learned the value of a dollar. As a result I have honed my skills and can search with great diligence and proficiency. Those searches have included better deals, lost items, things I want, gifts for others. Actually, there is nothing in my life that hasn’t required some seeking.
We must search for the things of God with as much enthusiasm and determination as we have applied toward earthly gain and comfort. God isn’t playing a petty game of hide-and-seek. but allowing our freewill to establish priorities. We seek what we want. The fear and knowledge of God must be our purposeful and intentional goal, our treasure.
Next time you go looking for that illusive something, let it remind you to spend quality time seeking God.
Love,
Gretchen
