Just A Few Of My Thoughts …

“The Lord loves those whose hearts are holy, and he is the friend of those whose ways are pure. Listen carefully and open your heart. Drink in the wise revelation that I impart. You’ll become winsome and wise when you treasure the beauty of my words. And always be prepared to share them at the appropriate time. For I’m releasing these words to you this day, yes, even to you, so that your living hope will be found in God alone, for he is the only one who is always true. Pay attention to these excellent sayings of three-fold things. For within my words you will discover true and reliable revelation. They will give you serenity so that you can reveal the truth of the word of the one who sends you.” Proverbs 22:11, 17-21 TPT

It should be comforting to know that the Lord loves those whose hearts are turned to him, and a friend of those whose ways are pure. His desire is that we open our hearts and minds as we read and understand the direction or meaning found within his words. Our actions, along with the words we speak, present to those around us the relationship we share with our Heavenly Father.

In this passage, Solomon, within his wisdom, advises us to listen carefully with an open heart and mind, as we drink in his wise revelations. His advice is for us to become wise within the teachings of his Word, as we treasure the beauty found within. We should always be prepared to share His Word, as we make known that our living hope is found in God alone. No matter the circumstance we find ourselves in the midst of, the promises of peace found within his Word continues to be ours, simply for the asking!

Heavenly Father, help us to remember the importance of keeping your Word available, within our hearts and minds, and for that, we are ever so thankful.

In Christ Love
