~ Journey through Proverbs ~
"If you cry after knowledge, and lift up your voice for understanding; If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hid treasures; Then you will understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God." (Prov. 2:3-5)
Soloman knew that a wise and understanding heart was to be prized far above the temporal pleasures and successes that most men are after. (1 Kings 3:10-11) His desire for understanding pleased the Lord, who gave him his... request, along with many temporal blessings as well.

What we value most shows up in what we desire most. “Where our treasure is, there will our heart be also.” How much do we really value the things that God values? How earnestly do we cultivate our hearts with His Word so that the wealth of it becomes our greatest treasure? If every earthly comfort were taken away, what would we be left holding onto?
“He who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” (Heb. 11:6)
