Friday!
Proverbs!
My son,
pay attention to my words.
Bend your ear to my speech.
Don't let them slip from your sight.
Guard them in your mind.
They are life to those who find them,
and healing for their entire body.
Proverbs 4:20-22 CEB
This Proverb is challenging with it's sense of urgency and importance.
I'm not sure that I approach God's word with this life-and-death perspective, or that it might impact my overall health and well-being.
Listen well.
Guard what you hear.
Life is found right here.
Right here.
Does it make you want to drop into Proverbs and see what the author gives us next?
Letting God's word into the deepest parts of us, allowing it to speak, allowing Him to speak to our deepest needs, and guarding His truth (guarding truth from the distractions of this world, the claims of the world, and sometimes our own internal dialogue - perhaps not guard against that, but allow His Truth to gently nudge and challenge some of our internal dialogue).
This proverb is asking us to take God's word seriously.
It's Life.
