Deep Thoughts: The Wisdom of Examining Your Life
Description: Which hard will you choose: to give careful attention to your life or remain indifferent? Proverbs 4 exhorts us to choose the hard of examining our lives over the hard of painful consequences.
Proverbs 4:20-27
My son, pay attention to my words;
listen closely to my sayings.
21 Don’t lose sight of them;
keep them within your heart.
22 For they are life to those who find them,
and health to one’s whole body.
23 Guard your heart above all else,[a]
for it is the source of life.
24 Don’t let your mouth speak dishonestly,
and don’t let your lips talk deviously.
25 Let your eyes look forward;
fix your gaze[b] straight ahead.
26 Carefully consider the path[c] for your feet,
and all your ways will be established.
27 Don’t turn to the right or to the left;
keep your feet away from evil.
