I keep stumbling over it...

There I go again. Again, and again. Almost every morning for the past year, or as long as I have been walking this path, I have tripped over the same little bitty annoying root in the middle of the road. Yes, it has been a "stumbling block" because every time I trip on it I almost fall face first to the ground before I manage to catch myself. You would think that I would remember that it is there by now. You would think that I would take a different path, at least. And, I know what you're thinking, why don't she just dig it up?  Good question. The only reason I can give is... I guess it has just not been that important to me.

I read Proverbs 4 this morning; the chapter entitled "Get Wisdom at any cost."  Long but well worth the read. Vs. 10-13 stood out. Listen my son (my daughter), accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I instruct you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble. Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it's your life. 

 There might be "roots" in my path but one thing for sure, if I listen and accept what you say, you promise that you will instruct me. It is in my best interest to put your word at the top of my priority list.

your wisdom is life to me,
