Hidden Treasure

READ: Proverbs 2: 1-5

Key Verse :   Proverbs 2:4 
                      If thou seekest her as silver, 
                      and searchest for her as for hid treasures; -  KJV



    When we read fictional books we understand the content, and we can easily tell a story about what we have read, now let's face the reality, try to read The Bible, can we understand the content of God's word? can we understand every word that is written in those Books? or can we even get the message of those author and the reason why they wrote it?

    My answer is NO, even if I grew up reading the pages of The Bible I can't still understand the scriptures. That is why I admire those who can understand and teach. Skimming is also a problem when I'm reading it. I know I grew up familiar with the Bible stories and even memorizing those verses but still I can't get some of the words written.

   I must admit that reading fictional books can make me go into stitches, but reading The Bible can't sustain my retention that make me turn away from the book. And why did my fellow Christians love reading it?


   As a Christian we must learn how to read and understand the Scriptures, not only reading it but we have to meditate therein day and night.


Proverbs 2 encourages us to make effort to know God better by carefully seeking a heart of understanding. When we read the Bible carefully and invest time in memorizing Scripture, we absorb its truth more deeply.


(vv.1-2) Sometimes reading the word aloud helps us to hear and understand the wisdom of God more fully. And when we pray the words of Scripture back to God and ask Him for "insight and understanding"

(v.3) We enjoy a conversation with the Author.



We come to know God and His wisdom
When we search for it like hidden treasure - Cindy Hess Kasper


Dear Lord, 

      help me to slow down and listen to what You want to teach me through Your word so I can be the person that You want me to be.
