Give Me, Lord!
Read Proverbs 1 - 4

Proverbs 2:3-5 and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, 4 and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, 5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.

LIKELY, you have been to a sporting event that gives you the opportunity to receive a free T-shirt. At half-time, the cheerleaders walk up and down the sidelines and shoot the shirts with some apparatus to various parts in the crowd. Do you see how people (maybe you’re one of them) stand and wave for the shirts to come their way? They cry out, “Up here! Up here! Me! Me! I want it. I want it.” And they run after the shirts as the shirts fly through the air. Wow, it’s a big deal to get a shirt!
What if we did that on Sunday morning or in a Bible study? What if we stood up and shouted “Here! Here! Me! Me! Give me God’s Word, pastor. Teach me God’s Truth, leader! I want it. I want it!”
Oh, how God would delight in you. How you would delight in God. The more you know him the more you love him. The more you love him, the more you receive him. The more you receive him, the more you trust him.
Shout it. At least shout to God, “Me! Me! Give me your truth!” And see how he will fill you with the eternal knowledge of him.


Pause and Consider: how excited you get for God. Is he of more value than a T-Shirt?
