We are a society that lives under constant threat. We have home protection systems. Recently the Quebec health system was destabilized under a cyber-attack. We no longer leave our homes and vehicles unlocked. Our media devices are pass locked. Newer vehicles have systems that can render them immobile if they are stolen. Every day we do something to protect and guard what we have.
In today’s 7th speech by a father to a son, the dad is pleading his son to protect and guard something very important. We are all the “sons” here. God, the Father is laying before us this call. It’s found in verse 23: “Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.” (Proverbs 4:23, ESV).
