Referring to Proverbs 2:1-5 it seems that it takes a lot of continual effort to get knowledge, understanding and wisdom. These things don’t come easy and they don’t come quick. It takes work , and it takes work every day. You must receive, hide, incline, apply, cry, lift your voice, seek and search.
“Pro 2:1-5 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 [cry] after knowledge, and [lift] up thy voice for understanding; if thou [seek] her as silver, and [search] for her as for hid treasures; then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.”
When you seek for silver and search for hid treasure it is not done in five minutes of idle time before watching a video. To seek you must decide where to go, you must do diligent research. You have to determine how your search will be funded. You must actually go there and methodically comb the area inspecting every rock formation. You must balance your resources while doing it. It takes time and it takes resources. You have to spend something to get something.
So it is we have to spend some time in God’s word to get something out of it. Seeking through the pages of Scripture brings to us understanding, knowledge, wisdom and is to arrive at the conception of right paths, the right way. Truth will deliver people who find themselves in the wrong paths.
