It is a metaphorical expression that signifies attentiveness, willingness, and submission to God's will or instruction. Biblical Usage and Context 1. Incline the Ear: The phrase "incline your ear" is frequently used in the Scriptures to denote the act of listening intently and with purpose. In <a href="/proverbs/2-2.htm">Proverbs 2:2</a>, it is written, "making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding." This suggests a deliberate effort to seek wisdom and understanding, emphasizing the importance of being receptive to divine instruction. 2. Incline the Heart: The heart, in biblical terms, is often seen as the center of one's will and emotions. To incline the heart towards God is to align one's desires and intentions with His commandments. In <a href="/joshua/24-23.htm">Joshua 24:23</a>, Joshua instructs the Israelites, "Now, therefore, put away the foreign gods that are among you, and incline your heart to the LORD, the God of Israel." This call to action underscores the necessity of wholehearted devotion and the rejection of idolatry. 3. Incline in Prayer: The psalmists frequently use the term "incline" in their prayers, expressing a desire for God to listen and respond. <a href="/psalms/17-6.htm">Psalm 17:6</a> states, "I call on You, O God, for You will answer me. Incline Your ear to me; hear my words." Here, the psalmist appeals to God's attentiveness and readiness to hear the cries of His people, reflecting a deep trust in God's responsiveness. 4. God's Inclination: The Bible also speaks of God inclining His ear towards His people, indicating His willingness to listen and act on their behalf. In <a href="/psalms/116-2.htm">Psalm 116:2</a>, the psalmist declares, "Because He has inclined His ear to me, I will call on Him as long as I live." This portrays a reciprocal relationship where God's attentiveness encourages continual prayer and reliance on Him. Theological Implications The concept of inclining one's ear or heart is deeply rooted in the covenant relationship between God and His people. It signifies a posture of humility and readiness to receive divine guidance. The act of inclining is not passive but requires active engagement and a conscious decision to prioritize God's voice over other influences. In the broader biblical narrative, the failure to incline one's heart or ear to God often leads to disobedience and spiritual decline. Conversely, those who incline themselves towards God are often depicted as wise, blessed, and in right standing with Him. Practical Application For believers, the call to incline one's ear and heart to God is a daily exercise of faith and discipline. It involves regular engagement with Scripture, prayer, and a willingness to be led by the Holy Spirit. By inclining towards God, Christians demonstrate their commitment to living according to His will and purpose, fostering a deeper relationship with Him.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
