Sunken Treasure
If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures; then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.
Proverbs 2:4-5

Newspapers are reporting that a shipwrecked Spanish galleon, the Capitana, has been discovered off the coast of Ecuador and may contain a king's ransom of wealth. It was heavily laden with silver coinage when it sunk in 1654. Divers have been able to salvage some of the coins, but the bulk of the booty remains submerged under several feet of mud near the mouth of Ecuador's Guayaquil River. The boat was carrying 10 million pesos, and each piece today could fetch from $100 to several thousand dollars.
Proverbs 2:1-6
Have you ever dreamed of discovering a sunken or buried treasure? Well, how about searching the Scriptures for God's treasure? In Proverbs 2, the Lord tells us to "treasure my commands within you," and to "incline your ear to wisdom." We're to seek His wisdom "as silver, and search for (it) as for hidden treasures" (verses 1-2, 4).
The Bible is a treasure chest of over 31,000 coins (verses); and in discovering the truths of God, we'll enjoy the riches of wisdom.
Nobody ever outgrows Scripture: the Book widens and deepens with our years.
Charles Spurgeon
