How does a man acquire wisdom?
DESIRE - must want wisdom, yearn for it
SEPARATED - must be willing to get alone, be alone; to come apart FROM this world to draw nigh UNTO God
SEEKETH - must be willing to search; not casually as in window shopping, but with diligence, purpose,and focus
INTERMEDDLETH - as in "obstinate". As a scientist obstinately observes countless experiments to unlock a mystery of this physical world, so should we obstinately observe the truths of the Bible to unlock the mysteries of God's spiritual realm.
In contrast, a fool has no desire to understand the things of God; he merely wants to discover his own heart, the phenomena currently referred to as "navel-gazing". He will not desire, separate, seek, or intermeddle with the Word of God because he is unwilling to venture beyond knowledge of his own little self.
