"Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.
18 For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips."
Proverbs 22:17-18
I like this idea that if we seek wisdom and knowledge that they will be within us and "fitted in" our lips... I think meaning that if we have them inside us, they will easily come out again when we are speaking to others. The next verse starts out "that thy trust may be in the Lord" ... so I think the whole idea is also connected to the spirit. If we cultivate wisdom and knowledge in a good way through the spirit, then the spirit will also be able to guide us to share that knowledge and wisdom (from God) with others, as we trust in him and do his will.
Today, let's listen to and learn from God, collecting all the good things that he grants us and being able to share them with others as he directs.
