This proverb establishes the principle that you will find what you are looking for. It could also be said that what you are looking for will eventually find you. The person who is diligently pursuing good and favor will find it. God is clear about this throughout His word. We are told that if we ask, knock, and seek, we will find what we desire (Mt. 7:7). The words “diligently seeketh” literally mean to rise early. This person is not half-hearted about what he is pursuing, but then again, none of us are. Those who seek comfort and ease, find it because they pursue it with all of their heart. Those who seek selfish desires, find it, because they pursue it with all of their heart. Those who are seeking to grow in holiness and righteousness, must seek it with all of their heart. The question to ask ourselves today is “What am I actively seeking?” Whatever it is, you will find it.
