DAY 28

Those Who Seek Me Will Find Me

Proverbs 8:17
기원전 10~4세기
ORIGINAL
אֲנִי אֹהֲבַי אֵהָב וּמְשַׁחֲרַי יִמְצָאֻנְנִי
📜 THE VERSE

Wisdom says: I love those who love me, and those who seek me early will find me.

❓ TODAY'S QUESTION

Have I only hoped wisdom would come on its own, or have I risen early to seek it?

📝Reflection

In this verse, wisdom lifts its own voice and says it will meet those who diligently seek it. The Hebrew for 'early' carries both longing and priority. What we seek first, in the clearest hours, is what we truly love. Wisdom is the same: it does not show its face to those who glance sideways in spare moments, but slowly opens itself to those who seek it first each day. Learning is not unrequited love. It draws near in proportion to how near I draw. To meet wisdom, give it the best hour of your day, first.
