Do You Acquire and Seek Knowledge?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who acquire and seek knowledge. In Jesus’s name, amen.
How do you make decisions?
Before making a decision, consider what Scripture says in Proverbs 18:15 (ESV).
“An intelligent heart acquires knowledge,
and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.”
Consider what the notes for verses 18:15-19 say in the English Standard Version, published by Crossway.
“These proverbs could be applied to many settings in life, though here they seem to be particularly focused on a courtroom setting. In hearing a case, one should see with one’s heart (Hb. leb, “reason, emotions, and will) to acquire knowledge, and likewise with one’s ear to listen carefully to what is being said, for that is the way that the wise (person) seeks knowledge.”
In both cases, the aim is knowledge. Trust God to provide the knowledge you need.
The next time you make a decision won’t you listen with your heart and ears?
