Turn Your Ear To My Words

My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body. Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips. Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.

Proverbs 4:20-27

Every day, the heart creates enough energy to drive a truck 20 miles. In a lifetime, that is equivalent to driving to the moon and back. A healthy heart can do amazing things. Conversely, if our heart malfunctions, our whole body shuts down.

The same can be said of our “spiritual heart.” In Scripture, the word heart represents the center or our emotions, thinking, and reasoning. It is our own “command center.”

Life will always make demands upon our time and energy that cry out for immediate attention.

Be thankful God has given us His Word. We need His help not to neglect it, but to use it align our heats His every day.

To keep spiritually fit, consult the Great Physician.
