“My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your sight; Keep them in the midst of your heart. For they are life to those who find them And health to all their body.” - Proverbs 4:20-22 (NASB)
We are reminded with today's promise to be careful with what we think, say, and do. We are encouraged by King Solomon, the author, to be mindful of the teaching we have in the Word of God. We are not to become distracted and take our eyes off the principles taught here. We keep them in focus for every decision. Like in Psalm 119:11, we keep these truths in our heart which means in our mind and our thoughts. We will be rewarded because these words are the source of life – but only to those of us who find them through faith in God. Having much knowledge and knowing all we can about the teaching in these words is not enough. We choose to actually accept them, apply them, and believe them as truth. Those who do find them, find life and health for their whole body. It is about maintaining our walk of faith in God our Savior. Our reward of life and health will ultimately be fulfilled in heaven.
