Proverbs 5:7

Proverbs 5:7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth. Solomon is speaking to the nation of Israel and trying to exhort them to live in the truth that he has for them.  We, on the other hand, can take these words and apply them to our lives in the aspect of understanding that we are children of God.  As God’s children we are to hear the words of God and believe them and obey them.  So many Christians think that they are at a disadvantage because we don’t have God speaking to us directly or don’t have prophets talking to us.  This is far from the truth, if we will look at the word of God as what it is– the actual words that God wanted to speak to us which are no different than if he was audibly speaking to us.  So many of us just don’t realize that the words on the page are actually the inspired words of God.  This simply means that they are God-breathed or out of the mouth of God.  So read his word and believe and do not depart from the words out of God’s mouth.

Rejoicing in Grace,
