Proverb of the Day

Yesterday I was reading my "Proverb of the Day" and I read proverbs 23. As I was reading I found alot of things that got my attention but the main was verse 26. It says "My son, (or daughter for that matter) give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways." I, of course, easily skimmed over it and thought nothing of it. But after a few seconds God really starting speaking to my heart. I was not really expecting it but he pointed out to me the order in which it was placed in the Bible.

It doesn't say something like "Let your eyes observe my ways and give me your heart when your ready". God want us to give our full attention to him and give our hearts to him willingly. When we don't give God our heart in its fullness it's much more easily broken. And also our eyes need to be looking in one direction, in His, which is foward. I often find myself blaming my dad for how my life is now. But in the Bible it says " Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end will increase abundantly". So even if your life's beginning was not lived to the fullest, you have now to correct that.

It so easy for us to read the Bible without any comprehension involved. If it takes 10 or 20 minutes more oh well. Stay up a few more minutes or wake up a few minutes earlier. The Bible is so much more then a book that is to be skimmed over.

This was my first blog ever so dont laugh.
