Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.Desire and love are the digging place for the human dogged determination. Solomon points this out so succinctly. Like a dog, after a bone, when we love a subject, we search it out and find the smallest detail of it. In contrast, Solomon, through the Holy Spirit directs us, that a fool is only interested in revealing himself to others, it is as though his nose for truth is pressed against his own heart.
A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.
Proverbs 18:1 and 2
This is what I am doing and this is what I am thinking and this is what I want etc. The rod of correction was fashioned by God to take our noses out of our own bosoms and place them in the dirt of truth to uncover the gems and precious things that He has hidden there. Would to God, that we would search Him out, with dogged determination.
