"An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge" (Prov. 18:15, ESV).
Throughout the book of Proverbs, the pursuit of knowledge is not mere academics. It isn't the pursuit of mere knowledge, but the pursuit of the knowledge of God. As we pursue the knowledge of God, to learn of him and from him, we gain wisdom. Wisdom is the skill of living in a way that please the Lord.
An intelligent heart is one that pursues the things of God. It pursue his grace and his glory, because it knows that life is only found through these. Over and over again, we are called to pursue the knowledge of the Lord. Each time we are promised many precious promises. Turning to the Lord not only saves us, it promises us a greater future. We'd be foolish not to heed the call.
