Deep Water

Day 76
It doesn't matter what people say. It doesn't matter how emotional they become. You must not take your cues from people, or be influenced by human words and emotions.

Be influenced by my words and by my Spirit. Keep pressing in to Me -- all day, every day -- as long as you live on the planet. I am the only one who has the whole truth. Don't react to people, their words or their pressures upon you.

Let my life-giving, pure water (which is my word for the moment) flow up and out of the deep well within you. I fill up this well with fresh water continually as you stay connected to Me, keeping close, keeping the pipeline open. Don't stop the flow. Listen to what I'm telling you right now . . .

Knowing what is right is like deep water in the heart; a wise person draws from the well within [Proverbs 20:5].

If you quit listening, dear child, and strike off on your own, you'll soon be out of your depth [Proverbs 19:27].

Never walk away from Wisdom—she guards your life; love her—she keeps her eye on you. Throw your arms around her—believe me, you won't regret it; never let her go—she'll make your life glorious. I'm writing out clear directions to Wisdom Way, I'm drawing a map to Righteous Road. I don't want you ending up in blind alleys, or wasting time making wrong turns [Proverbs 4:6,8,11&12, The Message].
