A Spirtual Enlightment


Proverbs 4:23-25 - "Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. Avoid all perverse talk; stay away from corrupt speech. Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path".

One night about a week ago, you would find me sitting cross-cross-applesauce fashion on top of my white sheeted bed. As such I began to reach the conclusion of my previously set amount of chapters to have read in my Bible. As I finished reading the last word, yet I felt compelled after the procession of intent reading, that God wanted me to read further. I obeyed the twinkle of spiritual restlessness within my soul and turned the thin pages.

The first words that my eyes quickly grasped and brought into my being was "avoid all perverse talk; stay away from corrupt speech".

Previously I have been struggling with negative influences that attack my sensitive moral. Sources of these influences were were mainly peers and acquaintances. I was at the verge of becoming extremely agitated with the ignorance that youth has bestowed me. So many questions conjured within my head as to the finding resolution of this proprietary phenomena.

Yet by the grace and unfathomable love of my father, he gave me a gift of wisdom that I pray will never stale or without gratitude. By one sentence spoken from my father to me, a section of my spiritual walk was instantaneously revived of its ignorant nature. Though ignorance to a variety of extents will always remain embedded inside of us, we can call on the lord Jesus Christ to light the path that leads us home.
