「Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise,

　And apply your heart to my knowledge;

　For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you;

　Let them all be fixed upon your lips,」　　Amen.

　It is helpful if you listen to the Bible on a regular basis, keep it in the folds of your heart, and recite it so that it always comes out of your mouth. When a man was wandering around Mt. Rokko trying to commit suicide after a business failure, the words that came out of his mouth were the words of the Bible (Matthew 11:28): “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” He began to walk strongly into his new life.　

　May we keep the Lord's Word in our hearts today....

God bless you.   See you next week.
