“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”. Proverbs 2:4-5
The knowledge of God is obtained by the wisdom of God, and the wisdom of God is found in the word of God. Jesus is the “Word”, so when we see Him, we not only see our Savior, but our God. Jesus became flesh and walked among us so He could, among other things, teach us the knowledge of God. So read the ‘red letters’ in the gospel’s of Christ, and you will observe the knowledge of God lived out in your Lord, and you will learn obedience by understanding and applying His teachings. Obtaining and integrating the knowledge of God into life transformation is not a passive exercise. It comes from passionate prayer, and earnestly seeking to understand the words written in red. Knowledge of God is food that satisfies the soul. It is a divine diet of grace and truth.
“Like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, that by it you may grow in respect to salvation” (I Peter 2:2). You read and receive the ‘Word of God’, so you can be transformed by the knowledge of God. Wisdom is a way to knowing God. It is discovered through toil and trust, industry and intimacy, and hard work and heaven’s illumination. Like the precious metals of silver and gold, the knowledge of God is found by the discipline and determination of digging out truth that may be covered over by the dirt of unbelief. You rise up early so you can meditate in the ‘mine shaft’ with your master Jesus, and He shows you the way. As you humbly receive the knowledge of God, make known to others the richness of your discovery. Wisdom is to be invested, by faith, in others for the sake of God’s Kingdom. Therefore, start by being the spiritual leader of your family, the Bible says, “Then on the second day the heads of fathers’ households of all the people, the priests, and the Levites were gathered to Ezra the scribe that they might gain insight into the words of the law” (Nehemiah 8:13, NASB).
