Meditate
On
My
son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let
them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; for they are
life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh.
Proverbs
4:20–22
Feed On The Tree Of Life
When
you watch documentaries or read news reports about a certain topic or problem,
you’ll realize that often, no real solution is actually offered. The program or
report will give you both the good and the bad in order to be objective,
balanced and fair. So you’ll find that you don’t really gain anything, just
more knowledge of what’s good and what’s evil regarding the topic.
I’m
not against watching documentaries or reading the news. But the problem with
feeding your mind and soul with the knowledge of good and evil is that more
often than not, with greater knowledge of a topic, you also become more
confused, worried or fearful.
My
advice to you is to spend your time feeding on Jesus, who is the tree of life.
When you feed on Him through His Word, you will find His wisdom, understanding,
peace, joy and unmerited favor flowing in your life. And if you want to watch
the television or read the newspaper, be selective. Guard what comes through
your eye and ear gates! For example, if a certain program is putting fear in
you, turn it off!
The
Book of Proverbs, which is chock-full of God’s wisdom, tells us, “My son, give
attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart
from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; for they are life to
those who find them, and health to all their flesh.” So tune in to what Jesus
is saying and not what the world is saying. Feed on His words of life and His
love and grace toward you, and the result will be life, wisdom, peace and
health.
Be wise today, my friend, and know what is truly good and beneficial
for the wholeness of your body and mind!
