Proverbs 4:20-22

"My son, pay attention to what I say;

turn your ear to my words.

Do not let them out of your sight,

keep them within your heart;

for they are life to those who find them

and health to one’s whole body."

Scripture commands us to value godly wisdom. We must turn our listening ears to spiritual words because these are essential for life and godliness. We should not be passive hearers since there is no fruit in listening without the intent of understanding or learning. Jesus’ parable on the sower explains 3 types of hearers for us.

Some people hear the Word but do not welcome its truths in their hearts and minds. Hence, Satan is able to quickly prevent the Word from taking any root in their lives. Others hear God’s word but not intently; worldly affairs and materialism quickly take over, leaving no space for God’s teachings to make a difference in their lives. But, as with soil that fell on good ground, we should be the type of hearer that listens closely to God’s teachings.

We should allow God’s Word to fashion our hearts and minds after the heart and mind of God. In so doing, there will be healing for every pain. And there will be fruit in every good work. You will experience an abundant life.
