Proverbs 2:1-5

2:1 My son, if you receive my words
and treasure up my commandments with you,
2 making your ear attentive to wisdom
and inclining your heart to understanding;
3 yes, if you call out for insight
and raise your voice for understanding,
4 if you seek it like silver
and search for it as for hidden treasures,
5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God.

Here comes the big daddy again to share some wisdom. Desire wisdom. You don't have to understand everything from the beginning but get your heart in the right place. Seek it, listen, call out for it, search, and then God shows up. Once you see God it will wake you up to the fact that he is more serious than you ever thought, and you will want to start listening what he has to say. You will find wisdom, the knowledge of God. What does this say about people who "know God" and don't have any wisdom? I'm not sure but I think the question is worth exploring.
