Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth (Proverbs 5:7)
In Proverbs 5:7, The Father advises us strongly to listen to Him and not depart from the words of His mouth. His words are written in the Bible; the Word of God. Therefore His Word is our Compass in life and leads us on the right path in life.
When we need advice or when we have questions, we should turn to the Bible; the Word of God, because His Word is our compass in life. The Father always gives us the right advice and answers to our questions.
We should turn to Him instead of turning to the world and to strangers, who don’t know God. A stranger could be your family member, a neighbor, a good friend, or an acquaintance. As long as that person doesn’t walk in the ways of the Lord and abides in the Word, then that person can never provide you with good advice.
Because good advice or instruction(s) comes from the truth (of God). Therefore good advice or instruction(s) is based on the Word of God and not human knowledge, reasoning, philosophies, and the words of the world.
Is the Bible your Compass?
When you go to the Father, He shall answer. When the Father answers you, it is up to you what you will do with His answer.
Do you listen to Him, and do what He tells us to do, even if you don’t like His answer? Or do you reject His answer and go your own way?
If a son really loves his father, then he shall take his advice and follow up on his advice. When you say that you love the Father and Jesus, then you shall obey His commandments and walk in His commandments.
