00:00:04.959 --> 00:00:11.279
<v SPEAKER_00>Proverbs 4 is all about valuing wisdom and its effect on our lives.

00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:18.000
<v SPEAKER_00>We should pursue wisdom and get it at any cost because it's that valuable.

00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:21.440
<v SPEAKER_00>Once we have it, we need to guard it.

00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:25.760
<v SPEAKER_00>Let's read Proverbs 423 for context.

00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:33.280
<v SPEAKER_00>It says, above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:47.920
<v SPEAKER_00>The author here is pleading with his sons to prioritize wisdom and to pay special attention to the path they walk.

00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:54.000
<v SPEAKER_00>This father knows that what fills the heart eventually shapes a life.

00:00:54.719 --> 00:01:00.880
<v SPEAKER_00>Today we are going to ask God to help us guard our hearts with wisdom.

00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:06.480
<v SPEAKER_00>Take a moment to become aware of his presence with you now.

00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:21.359
<v SPEAKER_00>Thank God that he offers wisdom generously to those who seek it.

00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:37.680
<v SPEAKER_00>Praise him that he cares about the direction of your life and the condition of your heart.

00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:28.560
<v SPEAKER_00>Are there voices, habits, or attitudes that are shaping you more than his truth?

00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:31.039
<v SPEAKER_00>Bring those before him now.

00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:25.279
<v SPEAKER_00>Rest in the confidence that he is helping you walk a steady path.

00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:35.360
<v unknown>Amen.
