.hidden treasure.

Today = Hebrews 9:1-22 + Exodus 6:28-8:32 + Proverbs 2

Honestly, Proverbs is just so useful. Of course, this is not to say that the rest of the Bible isn't, but somehow reading Proverbs always seems to refocus my attention. Which is definitely a good thing.

"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, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as 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 2:1-5)

I really love all of the analogies and depictions of truly searching after God. Filling up our lives with the things of him and thirsting after it like we thirst for water. It challenges me extremely. I'm developing and hunger and thirst for these things, to look at them as the prize of my life. It's growing slowly, but it's growing :)
