Proverbs 2:1-11 (KJV) My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
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 shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

Reward for searching

No man can search the scriptures in the spirit of Christ without being rewarded. When man is willing to be instructed as a little child, when He submits wholly to God, he will find truth in His word. If man would be obedient, they would understand God's government.... Human beings would be altogether different from what they now are, for by exploring the mines of truth men would be ennobled.

Wisdom comes from God

In a knowledge go God all true knowledge and real development have their source. Where ever we turn in physical, or mental, or the spiritual realm; in whatever we behold, apart from the bright of sin, this knowledge is revealed.
