Cesar Gonzales Zpata: Good afternoon family and friends in Christ; Today I want to share with you this Word: "Proverbs 04: 01 to 09.- Listen, my children, to your father's warnings; pay attention to acquire intelligence, since I give you good teaching, do not abandon my instructions. I was also my father's son, beloved with tenderness for my mother. He instructed me by telling me, keep my words in your mind, fulfill my commands and you will live. Acquire intelligence, do not depart or forget my words; do not abandon them and she will take care of you, love her and she will care for you. will protect. First of all acquire wisdom, with all your fortune acquire intelligence. Appreciate it and it will magnify you, embrace it and it will give you prestige; it will adorn your head with a precious diadem and present you with a crown of glory." Family and friends in Christ, how important, fruitful and beneficial; It is the human being to follow the wise teaching of God, through his Blessed word, because in it we not only find the correct path of life; but we also obtain tranquility and joy, many times we do not value correction and teaching; And we despise this great treasure that God in his great Love; It gives each of us, because we must be aware that our life has a time, on earth no one knows and knows the day and time that our cycle ends, today another year is about to end and another one begins on the calendar. , God has allowed many of us; have the privilege of being children and parents on earth, then let us practice obedience and accept correction and teaching, because from the good tree, good fruits will be obtained. Thanks be to God.
Hi Cesar! Thank you for sharing that powerful word from Proverbs 4:1-9. It is an important reminder to listen to parental warnings and gain intelligence through God's teaching. As you mention, many times we do not value the correction and teaching that God offers us through His Word. However, it is a great treasure that we must appreciate and embrace. By following God's wise teaching, we find the right path of life and receive blessings, protection and glory. It is true that our life on earth has an uncertain time, which is why it is even more relevant to take advantage of the privilege of being children of God and parents on earth. Let us continue to obey and accept the correction and teaching that God gives us. As Charles Spurgeon mentions in his devotional, the rod of discipline we receive from God does not mean anger, but love. Let us thank God for His word and for the blessings He grants us. Blessings to you and your family in Christ!
