You listen to wisdom not by chance. You have to intentionally decide to pay attention. That’s how you nurture life for your body and soul. Guard your way of thinking (heart, mind), because there is where everything starts. Life with integrity starts in your thinking. Focus on the right things and your road will become clearer. Focus on life and life is what you are going to enjoy.
Dear friend, listen well to my words;
tune your ears to my voice.
Keep my message in plain view at all times.
Concentrate! Learn it by heart!
Those who discover these words live, really live;
body and soul, they’re bursting with health.
Keep vigilant watch over your heart;
that’s where life starts.
Don’t talk out of both sides of your mouth;
avoid careless banter, white lies, and gossip.
Keep your eyes straight ahead;
ignore all sideshow distractions.
Watch your step,
and the road will stretch out smooth before you.
Look neither right nor left;
leave evil in the dust.
(Prov.4:20-27 MSG)
Prayer: Thank you Lord for Your life. It is the best life I could choose and I am very happy that I did. Now I need strength to focus on the right things. Help me to discern the new challenges I have in front of me and to walk in integrity. Help me to guard my thinking and grow in wisdom and understanding.
