Today’s Scripture: Proverbs 2:2 NLT: Tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding
Is it possible we can tune in and “hear” more from what is inside of us than outside?
The “incline your ear” given in most translations of Proverbs 2 is required to hear Wisdom. We must be attentive and tuned in to listen closely to Wisdom. This is the kind of listening you turn on when you think you hear a noise in your darkened home at night. You turn your good ear in the direction of the noise and lean in to listen for the next recognizable sound.
My son used to say, “you are yessing me aren’t you”? He could tell when I was not really listening. God and wisdom know that too. God has placed wisdom in our hearts. Where our ears and our hearts meet, we hear wisdom.
Can you tune your ear to listen to your heart? That is where you ear wisdom.
Today’s Prayer: Lord, thank you for placing Wisdom within our hearts. Please teach me to listen to Wisdom with Your hearing. Help me to turn and focus my ear and heart to You. I incline my ear to You Father and Your Wisdom. Teach me in Your ways as I seek Your understanding and Your knowledge. Amen.
