Proverbs 4

Proverbs 4: Hilarious case in point! As I was passing my eyes across verse 20 in a robotic superficial effort to check off today’s reading from my to-do list and move on to something else, I found myself snapping out of a daydream. So I re-read it. “My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words.” Very funny. As I look over the entire chapter again, my close attention finds the second half of verse 26: “take only ways that are firm”. I think of the final pit on the mud run, not the firmest way.
