Proverbs 2:1-5
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--indeed, if you call 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.
Seeking god is a lifetime quest. it is easy to stop crying out for insight and understanding. The wisdom God offers us in his word is so rich and satisfying we can feel that a little goes a long way.
Besides, it takes a bit of work and intellectual and heart focus to dig deeper into an understanding of God. It also takes prayer and meditation and sometimes even a bible dictionary or a concordance.
Romans 12:11
Never be lacking in zeal....
There are a lot of spiritual things to be zealous about. Being zealous about knowing God better and understanding his will more fully is at the top of the list.
Psalm 119:47
For I delight in your commands because I love them.
Approaching our study of the Bible with zeal for new insights to put into faithful action is the very best way to start any day. It is especially wonderful when we find new questions to ask to fuel our zeal for study another day. It is exciting to know that we will never exhaust the fascination available to us in the Word of God!
