Seeking the Lord is our priority and greatest reward. The problem lies in our ability to recognize it, then doing something about it. The world tells us, “put it off, seek self-pleasure, it can wait”, but when acted upon, we realize the pleasure lasts but a moment. Pursuing God lasts a lifetime, and beyond (eternally). If we could compare the two paths, side by side, it wouldn’t really be fair. Pursuits that are eternal show us how small the desires of this world really are. Do you seek God like a hidden treasure? Is your desire to truly know Him?
1 My child, listen to what I say,and treasure my commands.2 Tune your ears to wisdom,and concentrate on understanding.3 Cry out for insight,and ask for understanding.4 Search for them as you would for silver;seek them like hidden treasures.5 Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord,and you will gain knowledge of God.
