Proverbs 20:12  The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD had made even both of them. 

God has given humans the senses of hearing and seeing to perceive, learn, and discern the truth. These senses allow us to: Hear instruction and correction (1:5; 19:20) and to see evidence and understand situations (3:21; 4:7). They are tools for learning, understanding, and righteous living when used according to God’s design.

‘The LORD hath made even both of them.’ God is the Creator of all faculties, and their intended purpose is for His glory and wisdom. Nothing, including our senses, is neutral – they are to be used in obedience and service to God.

Cross references in Scripture: Christ is the Creator and sustainer of all things; all faculties exist in Him (Col. 1:15-18). All creation exists because God made all things for His pleasure and glory (Rev. 4:11).

Use hearing and sight wisely – seek truth, instruction, and understanding. Honour God in all perception – what we hear and see should be processed in light of His Word. Recognise God’s sovereignty – even the faculties of our bodies are gifts to be used responsibly.

God has made both our ears and eyes with purpose. The proper use of our senses brings understanding, wisdom, and glory to God, while misuse leads to folly and sin.
