Thursday, 4th of October 2007 – On Instruction

Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this day? I hope well. The Word of God tells us that wisdom is the principal thing and that we should get it. Sometimes, going through the book of Proverbs, I wonder what the words of wisdom were (smile). But now I have begun to see them. One of such is on instruction. The Bible says in Proverbs 4v13 that we should:

“Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.” (King James Version)

“Take hold of my instructions; don’t let them go. Guard them, for they are the key to life.” (New Living Translation)

“Take firm hold of instruction, do not let her go; guard her, for she is your life.” (Amplified Bible)

The Bible reminds us to:

“HEAR, my children, the instruction of a father, and give attention to know understanding;” Proverbs 4v1

Heed to your father’s instructions … and heed to God the Father’s instructions too. We see in Hebrews 12v5&6:

“And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of Him:

For whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth.”

Have a very wonderful day.
