Give Ear to Wisdom

Greetings to all. As we begin this week, let us take a moment to reflect on the importance of listening. Through listening, we gain wisdom.

Listening is not simply hearing words but truly paying attention and seeking to understand. Through attentive listening, we open ourselves to insights and wisdom that we might otherwise miss.  When pursuing knowledge of God, we must listen with intention and discernment.  Listening this way helps us find true knowledge.

Proverbs 2:1–2 (NCV)

1My child, listen to what I say and remember what I command you.

2Listen carefully to wisdom; set your mind on understanding.

Lesson:  Living a true and righteous life begins by listening to the word of God with humble hearts. Listening also requires us to pause, be patient, and listen deeply. The practice of listening can lead us to genuine knowledge and a deeper relationship with God, providing the wisdom needed for life.
