HEART OF DISCERNMENT
Proverbs 18:15
The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge,
and the ear of the wise seeks it out.
Who has the heart of discerning?
The believer. (Romans 10:9)
What is the heart?
The soul: our will, our attitude, our intelligence/intellect. (Romans 10:10)
How do we acquire knowledge?
From God. (Daniel 1:17).
And through spending time with God in prayer and daily Bible reading. (Deuteronomy 4:29; Psalm 27:8; Psalm 119:2; Isaiah 55:6; Jeremiah 29:13;
1 Thessalonians 5:17; 1 Timothy 2:8; 2 Timothy 1:3)
Who are the wise?
They who fear the LORD (Proverbs 9:10).
How do we hear this knowledge we are seeking?
Through the hearing of the Word, whether we read our Bibles out loud or when we hear the full Truth of the Word preached in our churches. (Romans 10:17)
