“I love those who love me, and those who seek me early find me. With me are honor, durable riches and righteousness. My fruit is better than fine gold; what I yield surpasses choice silver. I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice, that I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.”
Proverbs 8:17-21
I love this passage of scripture! Here is what is popping out to me today:
He loves me.
I want to seek Him early — early each morning and early before making decisions or taking a certain path. Seek Him early for my children (praying now for their future spouses, etc.)
Here’s the Greek:
1) to seek, seek early or earnestly, look early or diligently for
a) (Qal) to look for diligently, seek
b) (Piel) to seek, seek early
a) (Qal) to look for diligently, seek
b) (Piel) to seek, seek early
With Him are honor, durable (!) riches and righteousness. Ahhhh…..peaceful.
The fruit He yields is priceless.
Walking in righteousness and justice, He causes those who love Him to inherit substance. Inherit substance! I love that!
