The recipe for understanding the knowledge of God.
Proverbs 2:1- My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
2- So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
First- one must be in the family V-1 "MY SON"
Second- one must be willing to receive God's Word V-1 "IF THOU WILL RECEIVE"
Third- one must be willing to keep what they received with them V-1 "HIDE MY COMMANDMENTS WITH THEE"
Fourth- one must be willing to apply their heart to understanding "APPLY THINE HEART TO UNDERSTANDING"
Just like any other relationship one must apply themselves. My goal should be as the song of old states.
More about Jesus would I know,
More of His grace to others show;
More of His saving fullness see,
More of His love Who died for me.
More about Jesus let me learn,
More of His holy will discern;
Spirit of God, my teacher be,
Showing the things of Christ to me.
More about Jesus; in His Word,
Holding communion with my Lord;
Hearing His voice in every line,
Making each faithful saying mine.
More about Jesus; on His throne,
Riches in glory all His own;
More of His kingdom’s sure increase;
More of His coming, Prince of Peace.
More, more about Jesus,
More, more about Jesus;
More of His saving fullness see,
More of His love Who died for me.
It's more not less!
THEN
Proverbs 2:5
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
