Proverbs 2

..."yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, if you see it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God." -Proverbs 2:3-5

The 4th and 5th verse of this Proverb stands out to me because I see a connection between it and probably my favorite parable that Jesus told. He said (in Matthew 13) that the kingdom of heaven should be looked upon like a treasure in a field. A man discovers it, sells all that he has to buy that one field. I think God's ultimate goal for our "wisdom and understanding" is to understand who He is through the person of Christ, and to understand what it means to have faith. God wants us to realize how much of a treasure both this wisdom, and God himself are.
He doesn't want us to simply worship him out of "duty"...but out of sheer joy. I think we should always be praying to see Jesus and his Kingdom as the wonderful 'treasure' that it is.
