Turning Your Ear To Wisdom
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— indeed, 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. For the LORD
gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He holds success
in store for the upright, he is a shield to those
whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and protects the
way of his faithful ones.
Then
you will understand what is right and just and fair—every good path.
Proverbs 2:1-9
We get
wisdom by understanding what is true, right or lasting.
We are
told to turn our ears to wisdom, apply our hearts to understanding, and search
for it like it is hidden treasure.
Seek
God with all your heart. He is the source of all wisdom in your life.
You can acquire much knowledge,
but true wisdom comes only from God.
