Proverbs 4:1-5:23
What God said to me – Above all else guard you heart. It’s not an easy thing to do in the world today. There is so much sin and perversity around you that unless you keep your focus on Me, it is impossible. The enemy will constantly bombard you with all manner of sin and corruption so that under persistent attack, you would begin to crumble apart from My protection. Let your eyes look straight ahead. Fix your gaze on Me. When you do that, you will see sin the way I see it and it will lose is attractiveness. You will begin to grieve over the unholiness that fills the world and mourn for those who are trapped in it. Stay close to Me and I will guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you on straight paths. Stay close to Me and you will not stumble for I will guard your heart and mind.
