Matthew 13:44--The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure that a man discovered hidden in a field. In his excitement, he hid it again and sold everything he owned to get enough money to buy the field--and to get the treasure too!
Proverbs 2:1-5--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.
How does this verse say to get the fear of the LORD and the beginning of knowledge which is the primary spot to begin spiritual growth?
Receive God's words
Treasure his commandments
Make ears attentive to wisdom
Incline heart understanding
Cry out for discernment
Life voice for understanding
Seek for these things as for silver
And search for her as hidden treasure
To me that gets summed up in three words: desperation, humility, obedience.
