Secure in Wisdom: Holding Fast to God’s Word

 "Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life." - Proverbs 4:13

We must hold fast to the instruction we receive from God's Word because there are thieves in the way—the world, the devil, our sinful nature—trying to steal it from us. We ourselves can lose it due to negligence.

We must hold fast to this instruction because it is our life; to lose it means death. A person holds fast to what is dear to him, what is important and valuable, what he cannot bear to lose. And if it is something that, if lost, would cost him his life, he will hold on even tighter.

The instruction of God's Word keeps us alive spiritually. If we do not hold fast, we will lose that life.

Therefore, let me hold fast to the instruction of God's Word, keep it in my mind, in my heart, and in my life.
