My take is, I need to be proactive when it comes to knowledge. My knowledge will feed my wisdom, which in turn will apply my heart to understanding. I can’t take for granted what I hear and I must learn how to pay attention to all that is around me.

It was a Monday morning, and as I went to my office The Gracious
Mistress of the Parsonage said, “They're in your vest pocket in your 
closet.” 

I was hurrying to get to my office because I had an appointment at the
bank for business. I didn't listen very carefully to what she said. 

I looked around for my car keys and could not find them. Finally I went
to the kitchen and said, “Do you know...” 

“If you remember, I said earlier that they were in your vest pocket in
your closet.” 

Thinking about it, I remember her saying that, but I had no idea what
she was talking about at the time. How did she know I was going to look 
for my keys?” 

When I returned home from the bank that afternoon, I pondered all of
this. When I see something, I think of how to use it to my advantage. 
It then hit me. I think I'm going to ask her which horse is going to 
win the race this weekend. I figured out how to present it so she does 
not know what I am doing. 

I walked into the kitchen later, and she looked at me and said, “No, I
am not helping you on the horse race.” 

Later, I thought about that and said to myself, "I did not know we were
so intimately connected." 

Sitting in my office I was thinking about this and was reminded what
wise old Solomon said. 

“1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with
thee; 2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine 
heart to understanding;” (Proverbs 2:1-2). 

My take is, I need to be proactive when it comes to knowledge. My
knowledge will feed my wisdom, which in turn will apply my heart to 
understanding. I can't take for granted what I hear and I must learn 
how to pay attention to all that is around me.
