Where Are We Looking?

Proverbs 1-3; Romans 7 

“and 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. For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.”

Proverbs 2:3-6

Wisdom, understanding, and knowledge are all found in a relationship with the Creator, the Lord God Almighty. It is the Lord who gives wisdom, knowledge, and understanding.

Do we believe that?

Our universities and influential authors promise that we will find all we need at their feet or possibly within ourselves.

What do we really believe?

Does the One who made the eye and created the cell and the vast universe have anything to teach us?

Like Solomon, are we willing to seek the Lord for wisdom, knowledge, and understanding in every area of life, or are we seeking only biblical understanding and knowledge from him?

Solomon taught the leaders of the world about every discipline of knowledge because he sought the Lord for that knowledge.

Will we seek the Lord today with the same intensity with which we are pursuing our academic degrees?

“Lord God, I repent for looking for wisdom and knowledge from the world and not from you.”
