Proverbs 4

Master's Word
Above everything else, guard your heart. It is where your life comes from. C4 V23

Commands
My children, listen to a father's teaching. Pay attention and gain understanding. I give you good advice. So don't turn away from what I teach you. C4 V1-2

Get wisdom. Get understanding. Don't forget my words. Don't turn away from them. Stay close to wisdom, and she will keep you safe. Love her, and she will watch over you. Wisdom is best. So get wisdom. No matter what it costs, get understanding. C4 V5-6

Promise
Value wisdom, and she will lift you up. Hold her close, and she will honor you. She will set a beautiful crown on your head. She will give you a glorious crown." My son, listen. Accept what I say. Then you will live for many years.C4 V8-10

Warning
The path of those who do what is right is like the first gleam of dawn. It shines brighter and brighter until the full light of day. But the way of those who do what is wrong is like deep darkness. They don't know what makes them trip and fall.

Application and Prayer
Father You told me to guide my heart. always remind me of this so that I may not sin and your manifest present is always there.
