Psalms4:1-4,10-14, 23
1 My children, listen to a father’s teaching. Pay attention and gain understanding.
2 I give you good advice. So don’t turn away from what I teach you.
3 I was once a young boy in my father’s house. I was my mother’s only child.
4 My father taught me. He said, “Hold on to my words with all your heart. Keep my
commands. Then you will live.
10 My son, listen. Accept what I say. Then you will live for many years.
11 I guide you in the way of wisdom. I lead you along straight paths.
12 When you walk, nothing will slow you down. When you run, you won’t trip and fall.
13 Hold on to my teaching. Don’t let it go. Guard it well. It is your life.
14 Don’t take the path of evil people. Don’t live the way sinners do.
15 Stay away from their path. Don’t travel on it. Turn away from it. Go on your way.
23 Above everything else, guard your heart. It is where your life comes from.
Lesson: Guard your heart, hold unto wise counsel and you shall live happily
