- Proverbs 2:1-6 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
Well, if I have inclined my ear and applied my heart and cried out and lifted my voice and sought after a rare treasure and the Lord still has not simply opened up my mind to understand then I will do the following: I will incline my ear and apply my heart and cry out and lift my voice and seek after the rare treasure. I will listen for the voice of the Lord and I will apply my heart to understanding and I will pray earnestly for knowledge and I will dig and dig and dig by reading the Scriptures because this knowledge is more precious than all jewels (Proverbs 3:15). I will trust in the Lord will all my heart and lean not on my own understanding (Proverbs 3:5).
