Proverbs 4:20-27

I was on my phone between my classes yesterday and I stopped scrolling when I saw an image of a person making a heart out of their fingers. *you've all seen a type of this on the Internet somewhere* But what stopped me was the verse on the image...

*I do not own this picture*

 Proverbs 4:23 HCSM
"Guard your heart above all else, for it is the source of life."



While I know this stood out to me- I thought "what's the context for this verse?" So I read the whole chapter.
And then it made better sense than when I read it on the Valentine - like picture.



The final section of the chapter is sometimes referred to as "The Straight Path"

Proverbs 4:20-27
"My son, pay attention to my words; listen closely to my sayings. Don't lose sight of them; keep them within your heart. For they are life to those who find them, and health to one's whole body. Guard your heart above all else, for it is the source of life. Don't let your mouth speak dishonestly, and don't let your lips talk deviously. Let your eyes look forward; fix your gaze straight ahead. Carefully consider the path for your feet, and all your ways will be established. Don't turn to the right or to the left; keep your feet away from evil."

What amazing advice. This chapter is fatherly advice at its best. Whether you are male or female- this is for you. Wisdom is something that should be cherished.

Until next time,
