Pay Attention to Details!

Thursday~August 6, 2009

20 My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words.
21 Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart;
22 for they are life to those who find them and health to a man's whole body.
PROVERBS 4:20-22 (niv)

Stop holding onto every word that comes out of the mouth of men (women). Focus on the words of the Lord of Heaven's Armies. Yes, the Holy Spirit speaks through men (and women). But be careful to not automatically assume (test all spirits, because not all are from God) because just because one is in the church that doesn't mean they were sent from the God. Everyone in the church is not saved. Measure the words that proceed out of one's mouth against God's written Word. If it does not line up, then do not retain it in your mind (heart). Study, pray and meditate on the Word of God. The more you read and study, the more you will retain of His Word (Truth).

Whatever you devote your time to the most, is what will take root in your heart (mind). With pocket bibles at are disposal (and inexpensive, and even free ones), there is no reason any Christian should leave home without one (Holy Bible). This is how you know what matters most to you. Before you leave the house in the morning, do you make sure you have a Holy Bible on your person (your purse, tote or briefcase), or do you just make sure you have your cell phone (or blackberry, IPod, Laptop)? If you leave out, but notice (before you get far) that you left your Holy Bible (your Armor) at home, do you turn around and go back and get it, or do you only do that if you leave your phone?

There is DEATH in man-made devices, so it won't hurt you to "leave home without them". There is LIFE in the Word of God. Do you really want to "leave home without, His Life-line" (the Word, the Bread, of Life)?
