Proverb 2:4

“if you seek it like silver and 
and search for it as for hidden treasures,”

We seek silver for its value. All the more should we follow after understanding whose value exceeds the superficial limitations of this natural world. 

But searching for hidden treasures? Now they, too, are valuable. But these bring the elements of surprise and wonder to the search! Excitment and suspense. As we search for hidden treasures, we are given indirect permission to posess the curiosity and enthusiasm of children as we anticipate the find.

Though we may traverse many different terrains we will not grow weary. We will tire but not give up. Our strategies will change, our paths will be redirected but we will continue to search until the treasure is found. Despite the unexpected twists and turns, we progress joyfully, translating the surprises ByTheWay as adventures. 

And such is the search for understanding. It’s a wild and crazy journey, yet wildly exciting and fun. Unfold your map, bust out the compass or tap the GPS. It’s time to begin the lifelong and life-changing hunt for hidden treasures.

On your marks…

Get set…

GO!
