If you seek her as silver,
And search for her as for hidden treasures; v.4
Read chapter 2
Who's her you are to be seeking? Wisdom. Wisdom is what we should seek as we would silver. I picture an old man with a metal detector on the beach diligently looking for precious metals; he is so zoned on any possible beeping of the detector that he's doesn't care about building a sand castle or swimming in the ocean, he wants the hidden treasure more. All through the ages treasures were being explored all over the world as common it was for people to hide their riches. Even today a silly easter egg hunt gets kids so excited and will diligently seek for hours looking for candy or coins or even just a hardboiled egg. The excitement about finding and discovering something is innate in us all. But what about wisdom. Do you find that a treasure? Wisdom is not just becoming the smartest person on earth, but it's the understanding and teaching from above that puts any wisdom of the world to shame. The value of wisdom from God makes everything seem penniless and once one has it will never complain about the labor in seeking and getting it. Do you seek God's wisdom as much as you seek an easter egg? How about as much as precious metals? Have you found the value of godly wisdom? How can you seek this wisdom diligently?
