“23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. 24 Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee. 25 Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. 26 Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. 27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil” (Proverbs 4:23-27; NASB).
Here’s a good sermon from Solomon, and sound advice for the assembly:
Keep your heart—No seed can survive the heart that’s full of weeds.
Watch your mouth—A “froward” mouth is a crooked one. Ever notice how your mouth looks when you say ugly things?
Open your eyes—Don’t be distracted, and don’t go to sleep. Will the Lord give attention to those who yawn in His presence?
Look where you’re going—Worship must be directed to the throne. It won’t arrive there accidentally.
Stay on course—Keep your mind between the ditches of indifference and excessive enthusiasm.
Get Wisdom. Bring her with you to worship.
Jason Moore
