Pursuit of Wisdom

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.
(Pr 2:1-5)

Wisdom doesn’t usually just hit us over the head. We must diligently seek it. That is, we must diligently seek God, who is the source of all wisdom. It is a lifelong journey – a quest to which we must continually apply ourselves with steadfastness of purpose.
