20 My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words. 21 Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; 22 for they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body. ~ Proverbs 4: 20-22
King Solomon admonishes his hearers/readers to pay close attention to what he is saying because they are not just mere words. He is not just trying to sound philosophical or wise, but what he is saying is very important.
How important? So important that he advises not to let them out of your sight. You know how folks say, “I’ll keep it on the back burner?” Well, King Solomon is saying do not do that, but rather keep this on the front burner. Keep this in your heart so that it is ever on your mind. Why? They are life to those who find them.
What you focus on will either make or break you. It’s your thoughts that will decide your actions. So, watch what you think about. Guard your mind. Focus your thoughts and time on God and His word so that you may be changed by the renewal of your mind. For what a person thinks, that is who they are.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Watch What You Think.
