Proverbs chapter 18, verse 15, says,

An intelligent heart acquires knowledge,

and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

I love that phrase at the very beginning of that verse,

an intelligent heart.

And don't we all want that?, an intelligent heart. And don't we all want that?

Like an intelligent heart. Nobody wants a dumb heart, right? We want smart hearts. Like, we want to have an intelligent heart. Well, if we're going to have an intelligent

heart, we've got to realize we need more knowledge. The ear of the wise seeks more knowledge.

There's a humility that marks the intelligent heart that realizes there's a lot of things I don't know.

There's a lot of areas I need to grow in, my knowledge and my wisdom and my understanding.

And so I'm going to seek knowledge.

I'm going to acquire knowledge.

And this is wise.

So God, we pray that you would guard us from thinking we know it all in any situation.

Just like we've seen it other proverbs, like help us, God, we pray,

not to be wise in our own eyes, but to be humble before you, before others, to realize that we have

so much to learn in any and every circumstance. We have so much to learn in any and every circumstance.

We have so much to learn in life.

So help us to learn, help us to acquire more knowledge, help us to seek more knowledge.

Guard us from pride that says, I've got it figured out.

I think of so many times I'm prone to think, I got this one figured out.
