Episode 458 - Show Notes
- This week I have been meditating on a passage of Scripture in the Book of Proverbs. It’s talking about the importance of God’s Word and how we should never let it out of our sight. King Solomon goes on to say to us that if we keep God’s Word near to us, it will provide the protection we need. Listen to what he says.
- Listen again to those powerful words: “Do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight.” I believe he is referring to the Word of God. Where do we gain wisdom? Where do we find understanding? We discover them in scripture. Whatever you do, don’t let God’s Word out of your sight. Keep it close to you. Let it be a part of your daily life. Let these words be on your mind when you wake up and again when you lay down to sleep.
- What is Solomon talking about? I believe he is talking about temptation. If we keep God’s Word so near to us that it is never out of our sight, meaning his words are in us, we are consuming them, we will find the protection and strength we need against temptation.
- Think for a moment about the things God’s Word protects us from. It protects us against temptation, apathy, discouragement, false teaching, and worldly philosophies.
- There is a form of protection you need right now. Are you feeling stress, anxiety, fear, or discouragement? God’s Word protects our hearts and minds by keeping our focus on the Lord. I pray you will let the Scripture be life to you.
Proverbs 3:21-26 - “My son, do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight, preserve sound judgment and discretion; they will be life for you, an ornament to grace your neck. Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble. When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the Lord will be at your side and will keep your foot from being snared.”
Psalm 119:11 - “I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.”
