Proverbs 22:17
How are you bowing down your ear? What efforts are you putting to make sure that you get God’s knowledge?
Some people don’t put themselves in a ready state, not physically or spiritually attentive.
You might want to hear from God, but not really try to hear from God.
If you really wanted to know about the bible, you would read it and seek resources to help you.
If you want to know something, why are you not trying to ask people
who do know? Many people avoid asking people who are wise because they don’t want to hear what God wants them to do. They may know that the direction might go toward something of God and they know they won’t do it.
Proverbs 8:1-3, 6-9 Wisdom is there and calling out to men. The bible has answers for a lot of questions/problems in our society.
Looking at the world, a lot of people don’t really see the problems they have. The hurt and damage is evident, showing crying out to you. Why do you still want to be them?
People tend to be amazed by man and his inventions, while overlooking the mighty works that God made.
vs 33 – 36
Living your life waiting on the word. Do you make your decisions based on the principles in the word of the Lord, or just on how you feel?
God is life. To hate or reject Him is choosing death. There are a lot of people who love death.
Proverbs 22:17
You have to put your heart into finding the knowledge of God. For many people, wisdom is not the principle thing.
Did you bow down your ear to God this week? What did you do?
Did you follow through with making a plan to serve God this week? If you have no plan, how are you living a Christian life?
If you don’t apply your heart to know wisdom, you still will not know what God has for you.
