Proverb 2:4-5
Read Proverb 2:1-9
Mel Fisher was a treasure hunter who
search for gold and found it. In 1985,
after 16 years of looking he finally
discovered the Spanish Wreck
Nuestra Señora de Atocha in 55 feet
of water near key West, Florida.
His divers salvaged million of dollars'
worth of treasure from that sunken
ship but it didn't come easy. They
toiled long and hard With detectors,
diving to investigate every metallic "hit."
Fisher's Dreams and work eventually
paid off when he came upon his big find.
The Bible describes another kind of treasure
as being more Precious than gold, silver,
or rubies ( proverb 3:14-15). It is Wisdom,
which is more than knowledge. It's the ability to
Apply that knowledge to everyday life. Solomon,
who asked God for a wise and understanding heart,
told us in Proverb 2 To seek for wisdom with the
same persistence and intensity As we would
search for hidden treasures (v.4). We must cry
Out for discernment and understanding (v.3),
incline our ear To wisdom (v.2), and recieve God's
words and treasure then in Our heart ( v.1).
Do we value wisdom?
Do we seek it as diligently
as if it were Gold.? If so,
we will be rewarded
with life's greatest treasure
The knowledge of God
What will it profit a man
when life here is o' er
though great wordly
Wisdom i gain,
if seeking knowledge
i utterly fail the wisdom
Of God to obtain.
