…to deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things… Proverbs 2:1-12
We must seek after God’s Words and hide them in our heart in order to acquire knowledge and wisdom
But just having God’s Words in our head {memorized} does not automatically make us wise. I am sure most of us know examples of that.
We must incline our ear and apply our hearts…
which indicates a heart issue of even wanting to have God’s wisdom.
Only when my heart is right in applying God’s Words will discretion preserve me from the evil man and from the man who speaks frowardly [to lead astray, be stubborn or disobedient].
My desire for today is to allow God to work on my heart so that His Word can be applied... and my ear will be inclined to hear His leading so that I may teach my children also to hear God’s voice for themselves.
