Yesterday I had a precious time with my one granddaughter. We were talking about God‘s wisdom, and how He helps us to do right things. I was explaining to her how God‘s wisdom helps us to know how to do the right thing with the good knowledge of His Word in our heart. I shared about how wisdom helps us to always do what is right in the sight of our Lord. It shows us His perfect timing, and it teaches us how to speak right words and do kind actions.
It was precious seeing my granddaughter’s heart take hold of this truth, and learn from it. A precious measure of truth was added to her heart because she took time to listen. The one verse I want to look at more closely is Proverbs 1:5. “Let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance.” There is a key word here in verse five and it is the word ~listen~ it is as we listen closely that we will add to our learning.
Whether it be a child learning a new truth in God’s Word or we as adults are sitting and hearing the Word of God in church or reading our Bibles. Let us listen, and listen closely,and let us hear that we may add to our learning. It is as we do this that we will have an abundance of God‘s wisdom for godly living in this life. Today I encourage you to look to your Lord, and His wisdom that you can continually add to the learning of your heart.
