Tune our heart to wisdom, understanding and knowledge of God
Pr 2: 1-5 My child, if you take my words to heart, if you set store by my commandments, 2 tuning your ear to wisdom, tuning your heart to understanding, 3 yes, if your plea is for clear perception, if you cry out for understanding, 4 if you look for it as though for silver, search for it as though for buried treasure, 5 then you will understand what the fear of Yahweh is, and discover the knowledge of God. This Word of God is highly significant, and God gives numerous instructions much like a parent teaches or advises his children. We should tune our ears to wisdom and our hearts to understand what God is saying to us. Whenever we ask God for something, we should do it with a clear understanding of how God reveals Himself. Many treasures are concealed in the Kingdom of God, which God has prepared for each of us.
What shall we ask God, like a beggar, for wisdom and understanding in order to know Him. Then He will teach and give us the knowledge and fear of God. Apostle St Mathew has written in the Gospel about the buried treasure. Matthew 13:44 (NJB): The kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in a field which someone has found; he hides it again, goes off in his joy, sells everything he owns and buys the field. We have to strive for this treasure, hidden by God, but He will reveal to us, if we have the gentle, humble and contrite heart and tremble at God’s Word as says in Isaiah 66:2 (NJB): But my eyes are drawn to the person of humbled and contrite spirit, who trembles at my word
