Wisdom from Proverbs: Reflecting on Proverbs 4 verse 10


Download | Duration: 00:02:33



Today’s power comes from verse 10 of Proverbs chapter 4: Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many....

One of the main keys to living a long life is to receive – to take – what is being said to you. It’s always a choice with what God wants for you. He has planned a great life for you; things you couldn’t imagine. Even the most extravagant of dreams do not compare to how much He wants to do for you and through you. One of those God dreams for you is to have a long life.

When we think of a long life, we think maybe 80 years. But long life to God is at least 120. Could you imagine living to 120?

And when you involve God in to having those long years, His plan is for your years to be without sorrow. This is because when God blesses you, He adds no sorrow with it. Every good and perfect gift comes from Him. This is including the gift of long life. But in order to have long life, like any gift, you need to take it. You need to receive it. You need to possess as your own. There’s no way around it. Soon you will learn the power that is right under your nose that God has given you. You will need to cultivate that power and authority He’s given you, even in the area of living long.

So if you want to live long, begin to meditate (mutter to yourself; ponder on; think about) this verse. It is the beginning of living long and prosperous.
