Into the Fire

My son, pay attention to what I say;

listen closely to my words.

Do not let them out of your sight,

keep them within your heart;

for they are life to those who find them

and health to a man’s whole body.

Above all else, guard your heart,

for it is the wellspring of life.

Put away perversity from your mouth;

keep corrupt talk far from your lips.

Let your eyes look straight ahead,

fix your gaze directly before you.

Make level paths for your feet

and take only ways that are firm.

Do not swerve to the right or the left;

keep your foot from evil.

Proverbs 4:20-27 (NIV)

***For all of you fathers who do your best to take care of your children and raise them up in the ways of the Lord, may the Lord bless you with new insights, much grace, and faith-filled children. Happy Father’s Day!***
