Chapters in Proverbs sometimes seem very similar, especially the first several. However, there are unique thoughts in each chapter, probably even in each verse, that can be found. Today I read chapter four, and found an interesting verse:
"Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life." verse 23.
This verse can be read two different ways. On the one hand, we must keep our hearts with diligence, by means of healthful living and exercise, etc., which will keep the life blood flowing strongly. But on the other hand, we must guard our hearts against temptation, and this only with God's help, which will keep His life flowing through us.
