Follow my advice, my son, always treasure my commands.  Obey them and live!  Guard my teachings as your most precious possession”  (Proverbs 7:1-2 NLT).

Obey and live, He instructs.

Are you doing that?

Or, are you just existing?  Inhaling and exhaling?  Getting up, going about a routine and going back to bed?  Going through the motions like a robot wired for a specific job?

Living far exceeds what most of us are doing.  Living involves growth.  Living involves action.  Living, really living, allows us to throw our arms around this thing called today, and give it a bear hug–knowing it’s the only one we get!  Living puts asides fears and inhibitions.  Living enriches, doesn’t drain.  Living, His way of living, infects.

So?  So, what are you doing—living or existing?

Maybe it boils down to looking over what it is you’re guarding as your most precious possessions.
