The pursuit of hidden treasure
"If you look like the search for silver, and chase after him like a hidden treasure, then you will gain an understanding of fear of the Lord and received the knowledge of God." Proverbs 2:4-5
Human beings busied themselves with various kinds of work they can do, in order to achieve their dreams or goals each. Anyone want to achieve success, wealth, status, career, comfort, a better standard of living and many more goals to be achieved. Results to be obtained is determined by the effort and hard work. The more vigorously and diligently perform a job or business, then the closer the ideals of success or a dream. And God will never owe it to each of His people who actually do their work diligently.
But one thing that should not be overlooked is a spiritual thing. Physical and spiritual activity should we do in a balanced way. When we tend to be more heavily to one of them, then the balance of our lives will begin to be disrupted.

Spirit to seek fortune and success in this world should we use to search for hidden treasure worth far more precious than worldly possessions. If we can successfully get the treasure in this world, then we also have seharusnyalah success in the search for precious spiritual treasure.
"Because we do not pay attention to the visible, but invisible, because the look is temporary, while the unseen is eternal." 2 Cor 4:18
This spiritual treasure is the sense of the fear of God and the wisdom of God to know God more intimately again, including joy, deliverance, victory, peace, strength, comfort and love abound. And when we have it, then we have a strong handle on life, which will guide us through every step of our life day by day, taking the victory in every step of our lives.
"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline." Proverbs 1:7

What to do to get the hidden spiritual treasure, this precious?
A. Find Every Day
When we work for money, we work every day. There is work 5 days a week, there are six days in a week, and some have worked 7 days a week. One day we just did not work, then it will reduce the income or salary we will get in the end.

Likewise, spiritual activities, seek God we must do every day. When we miss one day only, then we will lose the precious moments that will determine the outcome of which will be obtained. Intimacy with God must be built continuously. The days that we passed the building fellowship with God will make us more spiritual life to grow in Him. We will be stronger in the face numerous problems and temptations.

2. Discipline
Discipline is absolutely necessary for job success, career, business / business, or for any activity we do. People who do not discipline or negligent in performing his job will not get maximum results (2 Thessalonians 3:7-8).

This applies also when we seek God and to build an intimate communion with Him. People who are disciplined in seeking God's will get a much greater blessing than those who fail to do so. Wake of discipline in seeking God's face. Set a time in a day where we can seek His face, without disturbance of other activities. Faithful to the time we set it and run with great discipline. The most ideal time is in the morning where our minds have not been met by a hive of activity and problems. But all is up to us who live alone.

3. Diligent
The fiery spirit is very good in a job. But if the spirit was only done at first alone, then it would be futile. Persistence is more important to achieve a success. Wealth and success will not be able to obtain only a short time. Everything takes time and struggle. This is why patience is needed. A sense of saturation must be defeated in the belief that if we senantias diligent work, then we will get what we all aspire.
Spiritual treasure is hidden also be sought with diligence. Many people who stop in the middle of the road when they do not get what they are looking for. They think the minister the Gospel in the church would soon change their lives. Or there is the thought that when it starts to diligently read the Word of God then God's blessings will flow immediately.
The Lord our God is not instant. The Lord will process each of our lives so that our lives had become perfect. And when God is the most wonderful time for us (Ecclesiastes 3:11).
Perseverance is a very long process. Perseverance means that we will continue to survive and faithful to do something when things do not turn into what we expect. Even when the situation became worse and jobs become more severe, we still do the job (James 1:2-4).
"For you need endurance, so that after you do the will of God, you really get what was promised." Hebrews 10:36

Finding the hidden spiritual treasure is not a complicated thing and much of our ability. And the hidden treasure is not just reserved for a certain man of God, a certain priest or minister of God only. God prepared for each of believers from various backgrounds, social status, occupation, and others. There are no restrictions for anyone who want to come to Him and seek His face. Everyone gets the same right to come to Him and gain valuable spiritual blessings that are already available.
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heaven." Ephesians 1:3
