PRO-VERBS 2:1-6 From His Mouth...To Your Ear

Greetings O Ye Listeners...

"My son...IF you RECEIVE my words, and TREASURE my commands within you...so that you INCLINE your ear to wisdom...and APPLY your heart to understanding...Yes, IF you CRY OUT FOR DISCERNMENT...and LIFT UP your voice for understanding...IF you SEEK her as silver...and SEARCH for her as hidden treasures...THEN you will UNDERSTAND the fear of the Lord and FIND the knowledge of God...FOR the Lord GIVES wisdom...from His MOUTH comes knowledge and understanding." (Pro-Verbs 2:1-6)

I like this interactive...proactive way that WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE, and UNDERSTANDING comes from the Lord to us. The old saying is..."From your mouth to God's ears." This speaks of blessings or something good said to somebody. The Pro-Verbist is speaking to his son...about how God's heartbeat is for the hearer to receive knowledge and understanding. The new saying...which is really not new..."From God's Mouth...To Your Ears." After all...FAITH comes by HEARING...and HEARING by the WORD OF GOD."
(Romans 10:17)

This wisdom, knowledge and understanding...comes from God's MOUTH. Oh if only this wisdom, knowledge and understanding would just fall upon us...and we would automatically absorb them into our being...BUT...God...for some reason...has factored US into this process.

Notice the action on OUR PART:

1. Receive
2. Treasure
3. Incline
4. Apply
5. Cry out
6. Lift up
7. Seek
8. Search

The word THEN...shows the cause and effect of doing the action words...(1) you will understand the fear of the Lord (2) you will find the knowledge of God.

"From His mouth...to Your Ear."
