God bless you Esteemchurch brothers, this is obviously the advice given to the young man. He started as a child in the home. Then he grew old enough to face life and then he gets advice from a wise person. His life in the home as a child, then his growth, now facing life, and receives this advice from a wise person in the walk of life. Apparently this could have been the first lesson he receives at school. Unfortunately he would not learn this in some contemporary schools.

The phrase continues: My son, if you receive my words. The Words of God have to be received. His commandments are to be kept or accumulated with the most valuable things of our life.
A certain man had a safe in a bank and went there regularly every week. He went to tell what he had treasured there. He liked to go to the place where his wealth was found. He had accumulated some stocks and bonds, and he loved going to look at them. And we have heard of a woman who possessed valuable jewelry. He liked to take them out of his jewel case and admire them. That is the way in which the Word of God should be kept, treasured. Remember this recommendation to treasure your commandments.

Keep the ear open. Something has to go through the door of the ear, but its final destiny is the heart. When the Word of God reaches the heart, it produces understanding. Now, he has not finished with this commandment, and continues to insist on the challenge.

Peter expressed it in the following way in his first letter 2: 2, saying: desire, as newborn children, the unadulterated spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up to salvation. The apostle refers to the Word of God. Have you ever seen, dear friend of steemchurch, a baby when your mom is giving you a bottle? The little one is lying down observing what his mother is bringing him and moves everything he has, shakes his hands, moves his feet, and his mouth is anxiously desiring milk from that bottle. And the son of God should also act in that way in front of the Word of God.

As for the spiritual situation of Christians today, we will say that where there is a renewal movement, you can notice that there is a renewed interest in the Word of God. Here it says "If you invoke intelligence," and what is that knowledge or intelligence? Remember that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

How different were the majority of our young people if they prudently kept the word of God?
