“That’s right—if you make Insight your priority,
and won’t take no for an answer,
Searching for it like a prospector panning for gold,
like an adventurer on a treasure hunt,
Believe me, before you know it Fear-of-God will be yours;
you’ll have come upon the Knowledge of God.”

Reflection
Proverbs 2:4–5 reminds us that wisdom is something worth pursuing with our whole hearts. Just as a prospector searches for gold or an adventurer hunts for treasure, we are called to seek God’s wisdom with determination. It is easy to want quick answers, but God invites us to slow down, listen, and search for understanding. When we make His wisdom a priority, we begin to discover that knowing Him is more valuable than anything the world can offer.
