Beloveds, delight in duty!!!
The carnival of life will entice your fleshly minds to wasteful activities. Silly games, cheap thrills, passing pleasures will profit you nothing. So, be on guard against love of pleasure and seek to be disciplined in what matters. Be disciplined in the things that will bring you everlasting joy and satisfaction. Seek after knowledge, wisdom, and understanding. Delight in it as it will bring you joy that will far outlast the pleasures of this life. You are in the spring time of your life, don't be wasteful, but purposeful. Delight in duty!!!
Below are two verses and MH's commentary to spur you on!!!!
Proverbs 18:15
The mind of the prudent acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
MH:
The more prudent a man is the more inquisitive will he be after knowledge, the knowledge of God and his duty, and the way to heaven, for that is the best knowledge. We must get knowledge, not only into our heads, but into our hearts, get the savour and relish of it, apply what we know to ourselves and experience the power and influence of it.
Proverbs 18:2
A fool does not delight in understanding, but only in revealing his own mind.
MH
A fool may pretend to understanding, and to seek and intermeddle with the means of it, but He has no true delight in it; it is only to please his friends or save his credit; he does not love his book, nor his business, nor his Bible, nor his prayers; he would rather be playing the fool with his sports. Those who take no pleasure in learning or religion will make nothing to purpose of either.
