KEEP GOD’S WORD IN THE MIDST OF THINE HEART

05- 30- 11 MI DAILY DEVOTION
KEEP GOD’S WORD IN THE MIDST OF THINE HEART
Proverbs 4: 20- 22   “My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21- Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22- For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.”
You can’t just stop yourself from craving of that fleshly stuff that pushed you into that sin and desires. Notice these 4 important words from verses 20 to 21: “attend” “incline” “depart” “keep”. God wanted for us to: 1) Attend to His words… First phrase in verse number 20; “My son, attend to my words; 2) “…incline thine ear unto my sayings.” 3) “Let them not depart from thine eyes;” 4) “keep them in the midst of thine heart.”
Notice the 2 blessings in verse 22. “Life and Health…” That’s what we exactly wants or needed. You would not care about money and Bank accounts, things, prestige, and even your beauty when you’re sick. All you want is your health. You want to have your good health and your life. You don’t have the time to think of your wealth and goods. You are fighting for your life and just want to be healed and have a good life. It is obvious that David was not just a man of prayer but of the Word. I hope and pray that we will be faithful to God and His Word. (Psalms 1:1-3) “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2- But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3- And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”
