Morning Manna - June 18, 2025 - Proverbs 4:1-6 - Hear the Instruction of a Father

In this deeply reflective Morning Manna session, we begin our journey through Proverbs chapter 4, where wisdom is portrayed as the voice of a loving father calling his children to listen, internalize, and live by God’s instruction. The message emphasizes the importance of active listening, honoring divine teaching, and developing a heart of understanding. From “hear ye children” to “forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee,” each verse is unpacked with practical and spiritual insights that apply to every believer seeking abundant life through godly wisdom.

Rick and Doc dive into the layered meaning of each phrase, illustrating how wisdom isn’t just acquired passively but must be intentionally pursued, cherished, and obeyed. The fatherly language reflects both authority and compassion, challenging listeners to value God’s Word like treasured instruction from a parent—and to love wisdom enough to be kept by it.
