“But all who listen to me will live in peace, untroubled by fear of harm.” Proverbs 1:33
The definition of listen is to “make a conscious effort to hear; attend closely, so as to hear & to pay attention; take advice.” We sometimes hear things but are not really in the moment. In other words, we do not pay close attention to what we are hearing. We have our minds or thoughts on something else. When we read the Word of God, we are to be tuned in. We are to pay attention to every word he says. We are to study what he says and meditate upon it. We are to receive and understand what he says, evaluate and remember what he says, and respond to what he says. We should believe that we receive from him because he is our source for all things. If we do not understand what he is telling us, then we should pray and ask for understanding. We should evaluate what he says by meditating and studying his Words. We should take the time to remember what he tells us by responding to him. We should live the way he tells us and make his word our way of life. If we are tuned into our God in heaven and believe that we receive what he tells us, even though there are bad things happening around us, we will be unharmed by the fear of these things. As we are tuned into him our faith grows immensely and we will be able to live with a peace of mind. PRASIE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
