"My (daughter), IF you receive My Words,
and treasure My commandments with you,
making your ear attentive to wisdom,
and inclining your heart to understanding.
Yes, IF you call out for insight
and raise your voice for understanding,
IF you seek it like 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 2:1-5 (ESV)
 
   I was challenged to read and meditate on these verses this morning and they really spoke to me! Last week, my family attended family camp together and in many ways, I was really challenged to dig deeper and crave the Lord like never before. When I read this verse,
Yes, IF you call out for insight
and raise your voice for understanding,
it was like the Lord spoke directly to me....You need to CALL on me for application and CRY out for understanding...not just a once a day prayer  but throughout the entire day as needs, and struggles, and concerns, etc come into your path. 
I would like to challenge all who might read this to CALL and CRY out to God for special insights into His word....His promise? You will learn to understand more deeply God's love and His desire for you to know Him more personally!
