Words That Bring Healing To The Whole Body

Proverbs 4  Speaks To Today

Let My Words Penetrate Deep Into Your Heart

20 My child, pay attention to what I say.
    Listen carefully to my words.
21 Don’t lose sight of them.
    Let them penetrate deep into your heart,
22 for they bring life to those who find them,
    and healing to their whole body.

Proverbs 4:20-22New Living Translation (NLT)

LISTEN!

Seems we have heard the first three or four lines of this passage before. And we have several times in this passage - Proverbs.

Listen! 

Seems that has become a missing art in the plethora of words that make up our society and the recent American presidential season.

Listen! 

The demand of massive crowds of people whose chosen candidate did not win. The need of injured souls, dead hopes, traumatized emotion. Please just listen!

Listen!

The need of a vile even violent fringe of the winner's supporters who take a majorities angst against the status quo establishment as an endorsement of their evil, racist, misogynistic clan and kindred sinners among who are too many who name the name of Christ and thereby defile his truth.

Listen Children!

To the real and active words of the present, not the made up future of your fears and rage. Not the rhetoric of victory. Not the lies of manipulative institutions and dark glasses media.

Listen!

Then listen to the wisdom of the wise that transcends culture and LISTEN, with your mouth shut and your minds quieted so you can hear, to the voice of the Spirit of God who alone knows what he has allowed and why.

Let these words of Wisdom penetrate deep into your heart, like we have been supposed to do all along but have failed to pursue, to value, to let mark and shape our lives, our outward physical living.

for they bring life to those who find them,
    and healing to their whole body
