Proverbs 4: 1 - 2
Listen, my sons, to a father's instruction;
pay attention and gain understanding

I give you sound learning
so do not forsake my teaching.

Such wise words to start out a new week! Listen to a father's instruction - and from where I'm at - this not only is for the physical relationships - but also my relationship with my heavenly Father - to listen. Most of the time, I do far too much talking and not enough listening.. and look at what I have to gain!!

The second verse reinforces the first - to me, the Bible is the one place where i know that the teaching is sound - that I won't be mislead, that what is being said is a mere opinion, rather than the real truth. It is the very best place to get my standards to measure everything else. Not a chance that I would 'forsake' that teaching!
