"Yes, if you want better insight and discernment,
and are searching for them as you would for lost money or hidden treasure,
then wisdom will be given you,
and knowledge of God himself;
you will soon learn the importance of reverence
for the Lord and of trusting him."

~ Proverbs 2:3 - 5 LAB

Bible Commentary:  "These verses highlight two ways we respond to God, ways that correspond to two basic aspects of his nature. First, we have reverence and awe for him. At the same time, we have confidence and trust in him. Our reverence for God recognizes his transcendence---his perfection and power over his created world. Our confidence and trust are our responses to his immanence--his everyday presence in our lives."
