“I love those who love me, And those who seek me diligently will find me” (Proverbs 8:17, NKJV). Wisdom speaks in the first person throughout this chapter, and here she promises herself to those who seek diligently.
Diligently rules out casual, occasional searching. This is sustained effort, not a single half-hearted attempt abandoned quickly.
The promise is direct: will find me. Not might, not eventually maybe, but a genuine promise attached to genuine diligence.
How diligent has your own pursuit of wisdom actually been lately, casual and occasional, or sustained enough to actually expect finding what you’re seeking?
