You will see the truth he has spoken in scripture. Seek the Lord and you will see his greatness and holiness. Wisdom, rightness, and love don’t come from somewhere, they come from Someone. The relentless, passionate pursuit of God’s wisdom, rightness, and love will bring you face-to-face with the Creator. If you want true wisdom, you can’t dabble. You must seek it relentlessly, with all your heart. You must recognize the immeasurable value of wisdom. In order to enjoy the blessings of wisdom, you must seek wisdom as you would seek treasure. “My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures … ” (Proverbs 2.1-4) We read it in chapter 2 where Solomon admonishes us to seek wisdom for the priceless treasure that it is. The admonition to pursue rightness, love, and wisdom is a central theme in the book of Proverbs. Thus we should pursue them passionately, relentlessly, and constantly. These are non-negotiable, core virtues of the kingdom of God. The idea is not just pursuit, but to relentlessly chase and take hold of rightness and love. The Hebrew words used here is radaph, and it means to seek and chase something with great effort and energy. Please recognize that rightness and love are virtues that need to be pursued.

We are called to the daily pursuit of rightness and loving kindness. “Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life, righteousness, and honor.”
