Proverbs 2: What Do You Expect?

Do you expect wisdom to come up to you and introduce itself?  Do you expect to wake up one morning and suddenly be wise?

or

Do you expect to have to work for wisdom?  Do you expect to have to search for wisdom?

Verses 4-5 say: "If you seek it like silver, and search for it like hidden treasure, then you will understand how to fear the Lord, and you will discover knowledge about God." (NET)

We have to look for wisdom. It will not come to us; we have to find it. We have to search for it like it is something of worth before we can gain it. If we do not think of wisdom as having value, then we will not find wisdom.

So then, let us search for widsom, and let us search for the knowledge of God.
