Love and Seek True Wisdom

"I love them that love Me; and those that seek Me early shall find Me"
(Proverbs 8:17).

Wisdom loves her lovers and seeks her seekers. He is already wise who seeks to
be wise, and he has almost found wisdom who diligently seeks her. What is true
of wisdom in general is specially true of wisdom embodied in our LORD Jesus.
Him we are to love and to seek, and in return we shall enjoy His love and find
Himself.

Our business is to seek Jesus early in life. Happy are the young whose morning
is spent with Jesus! It is never too soon to seek the LORD Jesus. Early seekers
make certain finders. We should seek Him early by diligence. Thriving tradesmen
are early risers, and thriving saints seek Jesus eagerly. Those who find Jesus
to their enrichment give their hearts to seeking Him. We must seek Him first,
and thus earliest. Above all things Jesus. Jesus first and nothing else even as
a bad second.

The blessing is that He will be found. He reveals Himself more and more clearly
to our search.... Happy men who seek One who, when He is found, remains with
them forever, a treasure growingly precious to their hearts and understandings.

LORD Jesus, l have found Thee; be found of me to an unutterable degree of
joyous satisfaction.

No Solid Comfort but in Christ. Ps. 30. 7

1 When my dear Jesus hides his smiling face, Nor lets me feel the unction of
his grace; I feel my loss, nor can my spirit rest, 'Till with his lovely
presence I am blest.

2 I mourn like one bereft of home and friend, And often wonder where the scene
will end; Tortured with anxious care, without repose, I feel as one immersed in
gloomy woes.

3 The means of grace afford no sweet relief, But often tend to aggravate my
grief; I cannot rest without my resting-place; Sweet Jesus, come, and let me
thee embrace.
