As I read Proverbs 19 this morning, two verses in particular snagged my attention.<\/p>\n
The second one first:<\/p>\n
“Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge”<\/em> (27).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
This counterbalances (and may also negate) the concept that we should accept truth from any and all sources so long as we filter out the chaff.<\/p>\n
I need to be discerning in my listening and reading. There is an abundance of stuff out there that will<\/em> cause me to err from the “good stuff.”<\/p>\n
This erring could be in the form of ceasing to live by God’s wisdom. It could be in the form of ceasing to expose myself to His wisdom.<\/p>\n
A panting hart stays away from suspect water as well as bad water.<\/p>\n
The other verse:<\/p>\n
“The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
What does that say about a panting hart?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
