Proverbs 4:20-27 ~ The Instruction Concerning Influences

Excerpt:

Solomon is telling his son: what you give your mind over to, what you see with your eyes, what you hear with your ears, you take it into your heart. Your heart is being influenced and constructed and programmed to who you are as a person. "As a person thinks, so is he," Solomon is going to tell us later. What we do with our hands. Where our feet take us. We are making decisions as to what to do with these hands and these feet. He says, "You are taking yourself into situations with influences that are not healthy, that will take you away from Christ. Stay on the path."
