Quiet Moments With God

Day 2: Proverbs 2

Scripture: Proverbs 2: 1-6

My son, accept my words. Store up my commands inside you. Let your ears listen to wisdom. Apply your heart to understanding. Call out for the ability to be wise. Cry out for understanding. Look for it as you would search for silver. Search for it as you would search for hidden treasure. Then you will understand how to have respect for the Lord. You will find out how to know God. The Lord gives wisdom. Knowledge and understanding come from his mouth.

Observation/Application:  One of my favorite verses is Jeremiah 29: 13 When you look for Me with all your heart, you will find me.

Proverbs 2:1-6, I believe helps clarify exactly what Jeremiah 29:13 is talking about. The key here is looking for Him with your whole heart. It's not just a "I've lost me shoe" type searching. No, it is a "I've got a treasure map to the world's largest, most valuable treasure and the first person who finds it gets to keep it all to themselves with no taxes" type searching! These verses promise if I seek Him like that I will find out how to know God! More than anything in this world, that is my hearts desire - to know God. I feel like I have only barely scratched the surface of Him. I want to know Him more. I want to know Him so deeply that I don't think I just do what I know God would do.
