Well the last paragraph of this chapter is a well known one but so worth to read over and over again; especially in the message version:
Keep vigilant watch over your heart;
that's where life starts.
Don't talk out of both sides of your mouth;
avoid careless banter, white lies, and gossip.
Keep your eyes straight ahead;
ignore all sideshow distractions.
Watch your step,
and the road will stretch out smooth before you.
Look neither right nor left;
leave evil in the dust.
that's where life starts.
Don't talk out of both sides of your mouth;
avoid careless banter, white lies, and gossip.
Keep your eyes straight ahead;
ignore all sideshow distractions.
Watch your step,
and the road will stretch out smooth before you.
Look neither right nor left;
leave evil in the dust.
The heart, oh the heart! That's where life starts? Where's my heart? What do I devote myself? What makes my heart vibrate? What makes me feel alive? What takes most of my thoughts and time every day?
Oh how important it is to be careful of what we talk! Oh yea... gotta be careful with I talk!
Well, now is the beginning of a new year and many people like to have a resolution for this new year. It would be think about what sideshow distractions exist that can move us away from our goals or delay them.
