Continuing from Proverbs 2:3-5. We will be looking at the words understanding and seek. We find understanding in verse 3, '...and raise your voice for understanding,'. Understanding defined is the ability to understand something; comprehension. We are to raise our voices to God for comprehension of His word. Verse 4 tells us 'to seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures,'. Seek is defined as an an attempt to find.
Therefore we are to make every effort to find insight and understanding as if we were searching for silver and hidden treasures. This is not a passive action but active and sought after with purpose and intent on finding it. God gives wisdom to those who ask without finding fault. He wants us to cry out to Him for understanding.
The reason is given in verses 10-11. "for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant for your soul; discretion will watch over you, understanding will guard you,". This being said seeking insight, understanding, and wisdom from God is good for the heart and soul but one has to mine it as silver and hidden treasure.
Pleasant silver mining my friends.
I know that for each person their walk with Gods is
different and unique. I am just sharing with you mine because I want to
give God the glory for what He is doing in my life.
