Searching for a rare jewel

The writer of Proverbs urges us far search diligently for something for more precious wisdom. In chapter 2, a father encourages his son to do whatever is necessary to get insight and wisdom. This strenuous search for wisdom is actually a search for God Himself. In fact, inner happiness comes when man attains this wisdom.

Let us devote our whole being to searching for that rare jewel of wisdom.

More valuable that diamonds rare
Is priceless wisdom from above;
With purest gold it can’t compare
Because it’s filled with truth and love
With all your getting, get understanding.
