Proverbs - Hear and Receive

Proverbs 4:10-12

 Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings;

 and the years of thy life shall be many.

 I have taught thee in the way of wisdom;

I have led thee in right paths.

 When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened;

and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.

                    We need to hear and receive what the Lord would tell us.  A good prayer to pray before we enter into the Word is that we would receive His Word as part of our being - that we would be receptive to all the Lord has to say.

                    The Lord has the right paths and they are designed to support us and get us where he wants to take us.  He leads us in these paths.  He is right in front of us.  More than focusing on the path, we should focus on the Leader.
