Stop listening to instruction,

my son,

and you will stray from the words of knowledge.

Proverbs 19:27 NIV

Does this proverb point us to Jesus?

He had public ministry, talked to crowds, wherever he went people gathered to listen, to be healed.

He had his team who he journeyed with, lived with, taught. 

And then he would disappear. Go up to the mountains, wander off alone, to spend time with his Father. 

So that he did not stray, would not get lost, not get picked off by the enemy, Jesus kept listening to instruction. 

He quoted the Old Testament. Psalms. Isaiah. 

Alone with the Father.

This was Jesus habit. 

I want to follow Jesus, and this seems like one of the simplest, easiest, low cost things that I can do to follow Him. So that I don't get picked off by the enemy, get lost, stray, I can choose to spend time alone with my Heavenly Father.
