"My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God."
Proverbs 2:1-5
I like the idea that there are things that we can do to work towards "the knowledge of God." Even though so much relies on the Lord in our lives, there are the smaller parts that rely on us... small enough that we can contribute and learn and make choices in order to determine our path. I also love the hidden treasure idea. If we really dedicated ourselves to God that way, how much could we learn and know?
Today, let's not feel overwhelmed by everything that we can't control, but accept things as they are and do what we can to make them better. Let's incline our ears and apply our hearts, cry after knowledge and apply our hearts to understanding. Let's seek for the things of God as though they were hidden treasure. :) As we search diligently, God will help us understand and find all that he offers us.
