Bible Commentary

Proverbs 2:4

Wisdom is worth searching for like precious treasure. The more we look, the more we find. This kind of searching means never giving up.

Memory phrase: Wisdom is my treasure.

Talk about it: If you found a real treasure map, how hard would you search for the treasure?

Prayer: God, help me love wisdom more than toys or treats.
