Today’s Scripture: Proverbs 2:2, NKJ- “So that you incline your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding;”
To “apply” can be defined “to make use” or “bring into action” one’s heart. We must make use of our hearts and bring them into action to find understanding. Just as we can “incline” our ear by leaning in and listening intently we can do so with our heart as we seek understanding from God. God has a way of speaking into our hearts.
I once cried out to God that I did not understand why He remained silent. I was not applying my heart. I have found that prayer and bible reading with my heart and my head have brought into action new understanding.
When we make our hearts available in prayer and feel the Words of God in our hearts, God does reveal Himself. We can use and apply our hearts and begin to understand what He desires for us to understand.
Will you use your heart to understand?
Today’s Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your gift of understanding. I trust You Father and welcome Your understanding into my heart. Remind me to seek and praise You in prayer and understanding who You are by remembering what you have done. Thank You for Your Word who reveals You and reveals understanding to us. Apply my heart LORD as I give it to You. I trust Your will be done. Amen
