Proverbs 2:1-5                              Treasure Hunt

     How should you approach learning?  These verses focus on understanding and knowledge.  Most students do not face a day of learning with the active approach of these verses.  So, today the challenge is to participate in a learning treasure hunt.  If you are a student by occupation, all of the subjects you will participate in today – math, science, language arts – are features of God’s knowledge.

   The learning activity in this passage involves body, mind, and spirit – all of you.

            What words in verses 1-5 indicate your body?

            What words in verses 1-5 indicate your mind (intellect, judgment, memory, learning)?

            What words in verses 1-5 indicate spiritual activity?

     According to these verses learning does not occur by being a couch potato.  Learning is active.  The picture of a treasure hunt brings to mind shipwrecks that have been discovered recently, and divers who risk their lives to bring up every last piece of treasure from the bottom of the ocean.

     By the way, learning never stops.  We cannot know all there is to know about God and His creation.  So, as you sit in class and do the work required of you, know that once you are out of school you will continue to add knowledge in your life experience.

 

     What is God telling you about Himself and how should you respond?

 

     Glorify and enjoy God who gives you His knowledge and wisdom today.

 

HAVE A BLESSED DAY!
