Pay Attention!

Proverbs 5:1-2

1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom;

Lend your ear to my understanding,

2 That you may preserve discretion,

And your lips may keep knowledge.


God is telling us to pay attention to what He teaches us.

Listen closely and understand what He is saying to us.


Can we have wisdom we have never heard or read?

We must spend time with God to know Him.

If we want His wisdom.

There is no other way.


The same way we get to know each other, by spending time together.

That's how we get to know our Heavenly Father.


If we will follow the Lord, then we can keep our purpose and direction in this life.

Serving Him and helping others.


We can avoid the false things of the world, by knowing the truth from the Source.

Our God and His word.


Also, the His word enables us to share His wisdom with others.

If we will pay attention to what the Lord teaches.


He will help us to have wise speech.

God will give us His words to speak.


These verses are the beginning of God's warnings to us.

To follow him and not be deceived by the lusts of the world.


In verse 7 He encourages us:

"Therefore hear me now, my children,

And do not depart from the words of my mouth."


Every day, we need to hear our God.

Listen to Him and Him only.


Remember what Peter said to Jesus, "You have the words of eternal life."


Only through the Lord, listening to and obeying him, can we be with Him forever.
