Scripture Proverbs 4:4 He also taught me, and said to me: “Let your heart retain my words; Keep my commands, and live. <\/p>\n
Observation: It\u2019s not just knowing the words but keeping them in your heart. Meaning you know them and understand what they mean. Sometimes it is a burden to try to understand something with just head knowledge, but to know them in your heart will allow you never to forget them. When we know and understand God\u2019s word we will be able to keep His commands with pleasure and have eternal life with our Lord.<\/p>\n
Application: When I read, I need to meditate on God\u2019s word so they are not just knowledge but second nature to me. Once I understand what God is telling me I can take it to heart and be obedient without questioning what God is calling me to do. <\/p>\n
Prayer: My Lord help me retain your Word in my heart. Don\u2019t allow my mind to wander when I read, but help me stay focused on what you are commanding me to do. My desire is to please you and I know I can only do that when I\u2019m following your commands for my life. I know You love me and want the best for me help me stay on the path you have chosen for me. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
