"Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding, if thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures, then thou shalt understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord giveth wisdom.... He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous" (Proverbs 2:3-7). "They received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the Scriptures daily" (Acts 17:11).
Lord, give me readiness of mind,
To search Your Word as hidden treasure.
By Your grace, Lord, let me find
The joy of serving You with pleasure.
The things that You are pleased to show
You manifest to those who pray
And lift their voice that they might know
Your perfect wisdom, will, and way.
Daily, Lord, I thus would seek
With urgency to understand
And readiness to hear You speak,
That I may follow Your command.
