Hear, my son, and accept my words, that the years of your life may be many. Proverbs 4:10
Lord, who of us doesn’t want to live longer. Solomon tells his son that if he listens to him and does what he says he would live longer.
I also find it interesting Lord that he is speaking to his young son. His young inexperienced son. AND he keeps asking him to listen and obey.
Often Lord in our teenage years we really think we know it all and don’t want to or feel like we need to listen.
Solomon knew his son would have a hard time obeying and therefore we read his words over and over telling him to treasure wisdom and knowledge.
Thank You Lord that You care about us and remind us of the gifts of wisdom and knowledge that are ours when we trust in You.
Thank You for helping us listen and obey.
Thank You Lord.
Amen
