Royal Road to Knowledge

"The way to knowledge is very simple, so simple that many people despise it. It is not, however, to be despised, for, in spite of the oft-repeated statement to the contrary, there is 

A Royal Road to Knowledge, 

and that road is open to all. 

Here are the directions, laid down by the king who, to the highest degree, proved it to be the right way:—

My son, if thou wilt receive My words, 

and hide My commandments with thee; 

so that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom,

 and apply thine heart to understanding; 

yea, if thou criest after knowledge,

and liftest up thy voice for understanding; 

if thou seekest her as silver, 

and searchest for her as for hid treasures; 

then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, 

and find the knowledge of God. 

For the Lord giveth wisdom; 

out of His mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

Prov. 2:1-6.

 

It was in a dream that God appeared to Solomon, and promised to give him wisdom, but it was not by idle dreaming that the wisdom came." 

 E.J. Waggoner
