6/22/13 Proverbs 4.10, Proverbs 19:20 Hear God & Accept Discipline


Proverbs 4:10 (NAS)

 Hear, my son, and accept my sayings, And the years of your life will be many.

Proverbs 19:20 (NAS)

 Listen to counsel and accept discipline, That you may be wise the rest of your days.

***********************************

As a child of God, it is important that you listen to your Father's voice. When you give Him your attention and show your interest, you will agree with His words and obey His commands. As you yield to Him, you gain perception and understanding.

Also as God’s child, the Lord Jehovah has partnered with you in building up His Kingdom. What is your part?  It is your responsibility to receive and seize upon every promise that He makes to you. When you agree with what He intends for you, you should utter the same words that He has spoken and boast of what the Lord is doing for you, giving Him the glory.

Then the Almighty will sustain your life, causing you to live prosperously and in health. He will continually revive and refresh you.  You will be like a green tree and a fresh flowing stream.  He will add many years to your life.

When you are making plans, you should look to Jehovah for advice and counsel.  Let Him instruct and teach you in what you should do and in the way that you should go. If you need correction or admonishment, receive and accept it graciously.  In this you are acting wisely and will not be deceived in your purposes.  And that wisdom will follow after you into your future and to the very end of your life.
