Proverbs 4:20-27
My son, give attention to my words;
Incline your ear to my sayings.
Do not let them depart from your sight;
Keep them in the midst of your heart.
For they are life to those who find them
And health to all their body.
Watch over your heart with all diligence,
For from it flow the springs of life.
Put away from you a deceitful mouth
And put devious speech far from you.
Let your eyes look directly ahead
And let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you.
Watch the path of your feet
And all your ways will be established.
Do not turn to the right nor to the left;
Turn your foot from evil.

And determine what is in our heart for it is out of the mouth that the heart speaks.

Proverbs 4:25-27
Let your eyes look directly ahead
And let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you.
Watch the path of your feet
And all your ways will be established.
Do not turn to the right nor to the left;
Turn your foot from evil.

We are to set our eyed on the goal that the Lord has set straight before us,
and then not look away,
Our goal should be the Kingdome of God and His righteousness,
To gain wisdom and understanding,
To live a life dedicated to finding that narrow path,
To enter in to His Kingdome.
Matthew 7:13-14
“Enter through the narrow gate;
for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction,
and there are many who enter through it.
For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life,
and there are few who find it.
Question is will we find the narrow way that leads to the small gate?
And will we have dropped, let loose of the earthly good,
worldly desirous,
The lust of the flesh.
Wisdom from God will guide your steps to that path,
Understanding can keep you on it.
You need to look inside and ask yourself,
Am I diligently seeking after the Lord.
Or ma I living a deceitful life speaking with devious speech,
only deceiving myself.
Psalms 1
How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the path of sinners,
Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!
But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season
And its leaf does not wither;
And in whatever he does, he prospers.
The wicked are not so,
But they are like chaff which the wind drives away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
For the LORD knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the wicked will perish.
Figure it out;
where do you walk?
With the wise or with the foolish.
