Indeed, 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 2:3-5
This week, my commitment is to seek God’s face for understanding as I prepare for the new semester. If the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, then this proverb describes the way to understand that fear properly. This quest requires that I ask and search with passion, that I acknowledge with my words and deeds how vital such knowledge is. The process matters, but it’s the results that matter: finding the silver and hidden treasure of God’s knowledge. I want that for myself, but I want it even more for my students.
