“Blessed is the one who listens to me,
watching daily at my gates,
waiting beside my doors.”
Proverbs 8:34 (ESV)

A blessed life is diligent in the things of God. There is an attentiveness to Him,

where our ears are tuned to the whisper of His Spirit whether it be a word of correction, encouragement or teaching. There is a blessing upon those who refuse to give themselves to the distractions of this life. There is a focus and the recognition of our great need to walk circumspectly. It is a day of great delusion, an hour of great subtlety, as we recognize the brevity of life and the emptiness of all this world has to offer.
