Application

"Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge (Proverbs 23:12)"

Do what God is telling you to do. I find myself often gathering more and more information about a decision, rather than making a choice and doing something about it. In essence, I procrastinate. Although I know my tendency, I still hem and haw about what I need to do. I discover that God wants me to do what I know. I know a lot of things about God and about following Him. Consequently, I just need to engage what I know. There are some things that are no brain-ers. Just do what God says. Here in this chapter of Proverbs I discover the challenges of a gluttonous lifestyle, one where food is the drug, one where riches is the buzz, one where substances are abused to "cope" wiith your life. I would rather seek God and be glad. Sure I may envy those who don't follow God. But in my heart of hearts, I want to serve God forever. It's application. It's putting into practice what I already know or what I only know about God. There is a right path (see verse 19). It's following God's Words found in the Bible. Read it and Live It!
Just living what I know,
