Proverbs 14:6 -- On The Path of Understanding

"A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth."
Proverbs 14:6


This verse seems to be saying that finding wisdom and gaining knowledge are easier the less we scorn and the more we know, or in other words, the more we follow God's path... which reminds me of Alma 37:46 which talks about the easiness of the way.

The idea is interesting because we rarely think of our lives and the perfection that God has asked of us as easy, but perhaps there is an easier way if we are more in tune with God and his plans... if we truly understand God better by learning of him and walking his path. If we work on being more in tune, then I think we'll find that the way has been prepared before us, and the miracles and "coincidences" that we run into along that path will be prepared by God ahead of time, that narrow path for us to walk in.

That isn't to say that there won't be trials of course, but if we are on the path, then we know also that these are the trials prepared for us, the ones that we need to learn from and not a pit we dug for ourselves. We know that there is a way through, because if we are on the path, we know the path goes somewhere. It doesn't lead to a dead end. :)

Today, let's learn of God, and grow to understand him more. Let's work to be in tune with him and truly walk the path that he has prepared for us... and I think we will find that wisdom and knowledge, and most other things will be easier... even if not easy, still easier to bear, because God will be with us, and we will have confidence that despite the obstacles that our path is going someplace very good. :)
