"But
whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of
evil." (Proverbs 1:33)
In today’s verse, the
word “hearken” refers to a life of obedience to the commandments of the
Lord. When we live in obedience to His Word, we can avoid great sorrows, and
live in peace without fear of any danger.
We also read in the
book of Exodus: “If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD
thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his
commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon
thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth
thee.” (Exodus 15:26)
Yet, many give more
importance to worship services and offerings than to living in obedience to
God. Dearly beloved, offerings and sacrifices are not the most important thing
– living a life of obedience to the Lord is. “Hath the LORD as great delight
in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold,
to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.” (1
Samuel 15:22)
Furthermore, the
writer of Hebrews warns us: “See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For
if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we
escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven.” (Hebrews
12:25)
Concerning Christ, it
was also foretold: “For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall
the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall
ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.” (Acts 3:22)
Therefore, let us
give importance to all of God’s commandments—not just a few, but all. And to
live in such obedience, let us seek the power of the Holy Spirit. For by our
weak human nature, we cannot keep God’s commandments. That is why the Lord has
promised and given the Holy Spirit as our Helper.
Let us live in
obedience to God’s Word; then we shall dwell safely, without fear of danger,
and in perfect peace.
