Pay Attention!

Proverbs 7: 1

My son, pay attention to my words. Treasure my commands that are within you.

In yesterday’s devotion, I quoted the wrong address of the Bible verse I used.

I earmarked Proverbs 23: 27, when I should’ve ear marked, Proverbs 4: 27.

Only one person caught my slip of pen, or in this instance, the slip of my mind.

That actually happens more as a 58 year old, than it did when I was a 40 year old.

It made me wonder, of the 100’s of people I send this devotional to, how many truly caught my gaffe’?

I actually had wondered how many even read the devotional in the first place? The person that did, has been a great influence in my spiritual life.

It also made me consider...How close do we pay attention to God’s Words?

Do we treasure the commands that should be within us?

I remember leading a Bible study long ago, and almost no one brought their Bible’s.

I asked people why they didn’t bring their Bible’s, and for most, there was this completely blank stare.

If you don’t read your Bible, or use your Bible, then I could almost tell you anything, and you might even believe it.

PLEASE don’t take my word for it...take God’s Word for it!!

I love the people in my life who hold me accountable.

I love the people in my life, who for my own good, bring correction, and who pay attention to my words...and God’s Word’s...
