I had a picture of a giraffe taped to the wall in my quiet time area. The giraffe was standing near a puddle. It wanted a drink. It was a long way down. The caption read: if you are thirsty you will find a way.

Proverbs 2:1-12 were King Solomon’s words to his son. Let me summarize. As we seek Him, we begin to understand the fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of wisdom. Verse 7 says, “He stores up sound wisdom for the upright…”

James 1:5 says that if we need wisdom, all we have to do is to ask. We ask and then must walk in what He says. Jehoshaphat helped wicked King Ahab. The Lord’s wrath was on him. He sent a seer to speak to him.

2 Chronicles 19:3 says, “Nevertheless good things are found in you, in that you have removed the wooden images from the land, and have prepared your heart to seek God.” Seeking the Lord should be our number one priority. Not just in times of trouble, but pursuing Him for intimate communion.
