Find the knowledge of God

We are in the middle of a series that deals with Proverbs. The basic scripture that is referenced is Proverbs 1:7 which follows:

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.

The fear of the LORD is defined as revering and respecting God.

While reading Proverbs 2 today this portion of scripture (Proverbs 2:1-5) had an impact on me

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 for silver
and search for it as for hidden treasure,

then you will understand the fear of the LORD
and find the knowledge of God.

Look at the verbs which tell us what to do to understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.

What are you doing and what aren’t you doing?

Man, you gotta do the work! It just doesn’t happen.

Keep reading Proverbs there's a lot more to it.
