“My child, will you treasure my wisdom? Then, and only then, will you acquire it. And only if you accept my advice and hide it within will you succeed. So train your heart to listen when I speak and open your spirit wide to expand your discernment— then pass it on to your sons and daughters. Yes, cry out for comprehension and intercede for insight. For if you keep seeking it like a man would seek for sterling silver, searching in hidden places for cherished treasure, then you will discover the fear of the Lord and find the true knowledge of God.”
The instruction of the Lord is simple, and it’s for our benefit. He wants to see us flourish and prosper. It is more clear than ever that we are in a spiritual battle between good and evil. We are living in a time where deception, lies, propaganda and indoctrination are pervasive. And the way we can protect ourselves is to be steeped in the Word of God, to ask for discernment and to follow those who are doing the same thing. Be careful who you follow, who you link arms with and who you listen to. So many seem to be bent on leading people down the wrong path for their own gain. It’s our responsibility to pursue the Lord and pursue wisdom so we don’t fall into the traps of the enemy. We have too much work to do.
