Proverbs 8:35 KJV
For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.
The "me" of the passage is wisdom which can refer to
The wisdom of knowing and obeying the Bible
The wisdom of practicing the teachings of Proverbs or
The wisdom that is Jesus Christ
The promise is that when we find this wisdom we will
Find life and
Obtain favor of the Lord
The greatest need any man has is first find eternal life in salvation from our sins and then to obtain this favor of the Lord.
The favor is our first simply because we are "accepted in the beloved." God sees us in Christ and He favors Christ. But there is a favor that we also seek in our quest to know the Lord and to experience His presence, His person and His power.
I seek the favor of the Lord. I shall find it in Christ.
