OK so I realize I already mentioned Proverbs 1:23 in one of my previous posts, but it jumped out at me again this time, too, so I figured I had better pay attention.
"Come and listen to my counsel. I'll share my heart with you and make you wise." Now, this is wisdom speaking, so I am supposed to listen to any wisdom that comes my way. Obviously, the most solid, truthful, tested and tried wisdom comes from God's Words so I think that is where I will start.
Next in this chapter (vs.24 -25) say, "I called you so often, but you wouldn't come. I reached out to you, but you paid no attention. You ignored my advice and rejected the correction I offered." These are the moments you just know that there is a Bible verse you should know to apply to your current situation, or one you would really like to pass on to someone in another type of situation. I always feel so frustrated and upset with myself that I cannot remember the words I need to use or pass on or teach my kids. Now, when you can somewhat think of those verses, it tells you that you have at least been paying a little bit of attention to God's wisdom. But, I am thinking this is a great way for God to say, "Pay attention. Learn and remember what I am saying to you in My Book."
Listen to His counsel. Pay attention. Remember. Three things I need to take to heart.
