Proverbs 2:4-5 “Mining the Riches of God’s Word”

“If thou seekest her [wisdom] as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.”

How do you seek silver? You dig for it. How do you search for hidden treasures? You dig for them. Both silver and hidden treasure requires diligence and toil, but there is also enthusiasm. Wisdom is the same way. You are enthusiastic, but still you expend effort and time to get the ‘ore’ from the Word of God. Then, through meditation, you refine the ‘ore’ and make it part of you. Finally comes the greatest benefit: you understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.
