“Listen, my son, and be wise,
and set your heart on the right path.” Proverbs 23:19
and set your heart on the right path.” Proverbs 23:19
In Proverbs 23, Solomon continues the sayings of the wise! The topics include
eating & drinking, fellowship, children, obedience as well as wisdom, instruction
and insight. Solomon emphasises setting the heart on the right path and
acquiring the knowledge of God at any cost. Cleave to truth and guard it as
prized above everything else.
In Proverbs 23:19, Solomon describes how to become wise - to understand,
believe and point your life in the right direction. First, believers need to hear
instruction as the voice of God - wisdom as faith comes by hearing. Hearing
is one of the senses that is first up in the morning, so it’s a great time to spend
in the Word! Second, hearts need to be guided in the right way by directing
to go straight forward towards right objects and under steady guidance.
Control the affections, sentiments, and intellectual processes, directing
thoughts toward the right course of conduct.
