Proverbs 2:1

Wisdom starts with listening and holding God's words close, like something very precious. This is the first step — being willing to receive what God says.

Memory phrase: I keep God's words in my heart.

Talk about it: How do you remember something really important?

Prayer: God, help me listen carefully and remember Your words.
