Even the Scriptures portray an intense effort is required in
diligently searching out what is the true knowledge of the Almighty:

“MY SON,
IF YOU RECEIVE MY WORDS,
AND TREASURE MY COMMANDS RECEIVE…

WITHIN YOU,
SO THAT YOU INCLINE TREASURE…
YOUR EAR TO WISDOM, INCLINE…
AND APPLY YOUR HEART APPLY…
TO UNDERSTANDING;

YES, IF YOU
CRY OUT FOR DISCERNMENT,
AND LIFT UP YOUR VOICE
FOR UNDERSTANDING, CRY OUT…

IF YOU SEEK HER AS SILVER, LIFT UP…
AND SEARCH FOR HER
AS FOR HIDDEN TREASURES;
THEN SEEK…

YOU WILL UNDERSTAND SEARCH…
THE FEAR OF THE LORD,
AND
FIND THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD.”

Prov. 2:1-3

Proverbs Chapter Two above uses eight action-filled verbs in describing what is
required from a believer seeking the infinite knowledge of the Almighty. We live in
such times that everything pertaining to Him has been over-simplified. We think all
we need to do is buy the latest popular edition of “God for Dummies” to
dumb-down the infinite knowledge of the Almighty so that we don’t need to
“Receive, treasure, incline, apply, cry out, lift up, seek, search” to find the infinite
knowledge of the Almighty. Revivalist Leonard Ravenhill often lamented over the
seemingly pitiful level of the knowledge of the Almighty held by today’s professing
Theologians.
Leonard was prolific with his
multitude of British pithy quotes.
“It is true I have always liked this one about

…much of which I must say,
is not worth the paper
