Proverbs 4:20-27
20 My son, pay attention to what I say;
listen closely to my words.
21 Do not let them out of your sight,
keep them within your heart;
22 for they are life to those who find them
and health to a man's whole body.
23 Above all else, guard your heart,
for it is the wellspring of life.
24 Put away perversity from your mouth;
keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
25 Let your eyes look straight ahead,
fix your gaze directly before you.
26 Make level [a] paths for your feet
and take only ways that are firm.
27 Do not swerve to the right or the left;
keep your foot from evil.
Today while doing my quiet time with the Lord, I am reminded to really evaluate myself how I have been walking with Him. Since the birth of Keziah, I have been so ever tired and somehow spiritually I find myself rather aloft. This is certainly a strong calling amidst all trials and testing, be it physically, mentally and spiritually, to watch our ways. Are we close to the Lord?
Extracted from Our Daily Bread: Spiritual Checkup
Ears (v.20): Are we hearing God’s Word clearly and with understanding? Are we doing what those words tell us?
Eyes (vv.21,25): Are we keeping our eyes on the teachings that will guide us toward righteousness?
Heart (v.23): Are we protecting our heart from evil?
Tongue (v.24): Is our mouth clean and pure?
Feet (v.26): Are we walking straight toward God’s truth without wavering?
Hope it encourages my friends out there too!
