"My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh"(Proverbs 4:20-22).
The bible declares that the word of God is alive and powerful. God did not give us His word to simply inform us but to transform us into the iamge of His son (2 Cor. 3:18).
In Proverbs 4:22 we read concerning words of wisdom, "For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh." How does the wisdom God's word provide life and wisdom? Proverbs 4:20-21 give us the following keys: Notice that verse 20 says, "attend to my words." This means not just to pay attention, but to apply yourself to the word. Secondly, verse 20 says, "incline your ear." This means to be persuaded by the word. Thirdly, verse 21 says, "Let them not depart from thine eyes." Don't lose sight of the word. Lastly, verse 21 says, "Keep them in the midst of thine heart."
Hide God's word in your heart. Take time to memorize and meditate on the living and powerful words of God. "And ye shall be like tree planted by the rivers of water that bringeth forth it's fruit in it's season. His leaf also shall not weather and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper."
