Proverbs 2:1-5 – turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding
My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. – Proverbs 2:1-5 (NIV)
The
Scripture portrays wisdom as something that doesn’t come easily. To have
wisdom implies many struggles with understanding. It’s when we don’t
understand why things are working a certain way that we are faced with
the journey toward wisdom. Notice that we need to turn our ear, apply
our heart, cry aloud, look and search. These are the skill sets needed
to understand the fear of the Lord and knowledge of God. These are the
patterns that expand our perspectives.
