Proverbs 4 continue to press on the importance of wisdom. Here I would like to point on few verses. "My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to a man's whole body. Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far from your lips. Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm. Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil." Verse 20-27
Our heart is the wellspring of life. Our heart is the dynamo and the source of everything. It leads to our understanding, our thoughts, our action and basically all the aspects of our life. Either being kind, generous, loving or wicked, hatred and so on. All the while what we need to do is just refer to our heart. It triggers everything. Subsequently, put perversity from our mouth. Don't speak in the wicked tongue, being lustful or boasting about blue jokes. It 's because what we say comes from our heart, therefore what we say is just equaled to our action. As we hate our brother, we have committed the sin of killing. Isn't it terrible?
Point to ponder: How can I speak in wisdom?
