Taking Instructions

Proverbs  4:13 Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life. 

We are in a world filled with so much information necessary to navigate our life but it's crucial to discern the valuable instruction that aligns with God's word. 

The instruction spoken of in Proverbs is not merely a set of rules; it is the divine wisdom that shapes our character, molds our choices, and ultimately leads us to a life of purpose and fulfillment.

As we navigate the complexities of life, let us be diligent in seeking instruction. The imagery of holding onto it tightly and guarding it emphasizes the preciousness of this divine guidance. 

It is not a passive acceptance but an active pursuit,  an intentional choice to immerse ourselves in the teachings of Scripture and apply them to our daily walk.

God's instruction is the lamp to our feet and the light to our path, as Psalm 119:105 tells us. It illuminates the darkness of confusion, providing clarity in times of uncertainty. By taking hold of this instruction, we equip ourselves to face the challenges of life with a spirit grounded in faith and discernment.

Furthermore, the verse in Proverbs urges us not to let go of this instruction. In a world where distractions and temptations abound, we must stand firm in our commitment to God's wisdom. 

The teachings of Scripture are not fleeting; they are timeless truths that withstand the test of time. To let go of them is to risk losing the compass that guides us toward righteousness and virtue.

Whatever instruction God has given you, hold it firm, no matter how foolish it may seems to you as man, it is timeless wisdom. 

In conclusion,  Let us actively seek God's instruction, holding onto it tightly and guarding it as the precious treasure that it is. Through this commitment, we open ourselves to a life shaped by divine wisdom, a life that reflects the beauty and purpose God intends for each of us.
