“如果你寻找它如同寻找银子，搜寻它好象搜寻宝藏；”
箴言 2:4
“and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure,”
Proverbs 2:4
Proverbs 2 encourages us to make the effort to know God better by carefully seeking a heart of understanding. When we read the Bible carefully and invest time memorizing Scripture, we absorb its truths more deeply (vv. 1-2). Sometimes reading the Word aloud helps us to hear and understand the wisdom of God more fully. And when we pray the words of Scripture back to God and ask Him for “insight and understanding” (v. 3), we enjoy a conversation with the Author.
We come to know God and His wisdom when we search for it with our whole heart. We find understanding when we seek it like silver and search for it like hidden treasure.
Dear Lord,
help me to slow down and listen to what You want to teach me through Your Word so I can be the person You want me to be.
How do we read the bible? Study it carefully or just skimming through? Do we love the Word or it's just a book to us?
