My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God (Proverbs 2:1-5).

That there’s a lot of if’s.

If you accept my words and store up my commands—You have to make the choice.  You have to decide to believe God and follow his ways.  Have you made that decision, Beloved?

If you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding—You have to want it, and want it bad.  How much do you want it, Beloved?

If you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure—You have to be willing to dig.  I know I told you yesterday that wisdom is not hidden, that it is there for the taking, but you still have to take it.  You have to be willing to dig deep into the Word of God to uncover the riches that it contains.  Are you willing to dig, Beloved?

Because if you are…

Then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.

Ask and it will be given to you.

Seek and you will find.

Knock and the door will be opened.

Are you ready, Beloved?

Go.
