What do your ear and heart seek out? Are you really prudent, wise, righteous?

In order to helping you to discern this, read these excerpts of the Holy Scripture?

• Pro 18:15 -> “The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.”.
• Pro 1:5 -> “A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels”.
• Pro 9:9 -> “Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.”.
• Pro 15:14 -> “The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.”.
• Pro 10:14 -> “Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.”.

What can we see in the prudent, just and wise man?

• His heart seeks and gets knowledge;
• His ear seeks knowledge and will increase learning;
• He ever clings and attains unto wise counsels;

If you have these characteristics, follow these instructions:

• Pro 4:7 -> “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.”.
• Pro 23:23 -> “Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.”.

Even if you have difficulty to figure out the Holy Scripture, there is no reason for despair or for neglecting what is written in (Ps 1:1; 2Tim 3:15; 1Peter 3:15; Titus 1:9; Col 4:5,6). After all:

• Jas 1:5 -> “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.”.

Otherwise, if you aren’t earnest for Jesus and His wisdom and ken, the curse that was on Israel can fell on you:

• Mat 13:10-16 -> “And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: for this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.”.

So, considering that you are wise, have a good day filling your mind and heart with all Jesus’ word
