Verse of the week

"My son, pay attention to what I say, lisson closly to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart. For they are life to those who find them and health to a whole mans body. above all else guard you heart for it is the wellspring of life. put away perversity from your mouth. Keep corrupt talk away far from your lips. let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. make level paths for your feet and take only the ways that are firm. Do not swerve to the right or to the left, keep your foot from evil." Proverbs 4:20-27

This verse has been so strongly on my heart. I am totally blown away with this awesome and very practical advice. While reading it I thought I wish that I had lived my whole life following this but, that is easier said then done.

I love that it says your heart is your wellspring of life. This is so good. So many times I find my heart being drawn a certain way, being pulled in many different directions. The thing I will be working on as I memorise this verse is trust. I need to completely trust God with everything that is in my heart. Like he says in Jeremiah 29:11 he knows the perfect plans for my life and they are for good and not for evil. I need to rest in peace knowing God will guide me and that it will be good.
