Scripture: Proverbs 2:1
Tune your ears to wisdom and concentrate on understanding.

Observation:
What does this verse say we should listen to?
Wisdom! Wisdom is anything that is right and true and glorifies God
What are some things that are unwise to listen to? What are some wise things to listen to?
Unwise: bad language (like in music, TV or from people you know), gossip, lies
Wise: clean language, truth, the Word of God

Application:
What are your ears tuned in to?
Do you spend a lot of time listening to junk or do you listen to wisdom?
What sacrifices do you need to make to ensure you are listening to stuff that glorifies God?
Make some time in the next week to get into the habit of listening to some good stuff, listen to a Christian CD or radio station for example. Flood your ears with noise that glorifies God.

Prayer:
During your prayer time fill God’s ears with praise. Give him the glory and praise he deserves! Be sure to listen to the good stuff he wants to share with you.
