My son, if you will receive my words
And treasure my commandments within you,
Make your ear attentive to wisdom,
Incline your heart to understanding;
For if you cry for discernment,
Lift your voice for understanding;
If you seek her as silver
And search for her as for hidden treasures;
Then you will discern the fear of the LORD
And discover the knowledge of God. Proverbs 2:1-5
We have instructions that cover every aspect of our existence. They are perfect and precise. The question is, do we consult them? Yes, they can be sought out for God’s grand story of redemption. They can be formulated and sorted into deep doctrines. But in everyday life, there are answers in there for our everyday problems. We don’t have to be perplexed or discouraged. Modern society has got to be the most informed of all time. We have rich search engines at our fingertips, that allow us to find answers to everything. Why not search the Bible? Consult it first before rushing to conclusions.
