Proverbs 4: 10-15 is all about following The Bible’s Teaching and having a good life!
There is no magic formula here, follow God’s teaching, stay away from the things that are only going to trip you up. When God says “I will lead you” he means through His words and through his people, the church! Some and maybe all of us will be tempted to go and do something today that we shouldn’t do, Don’t do it. Hold on to the truth and you are promised a long and good life!
Remember we need to be held accountable! If you are feeling overwhelmed call someone, either myself or one of the youth leaders and some of the older youth who are now mentors to the younger. But remember what Lookadoo said: “get your advise from those who have walked there before you”.
Stay strong and let’s turn the World upsode down!

My child, listen to me and do as I say,
and you will have a long, good life.
I will teach you wisdom’s ways
and lead you in straight paths.
When you walk, you won’t be held back;
when you run, you won’t stumble.
Take hold of my instructions; don’t let them go.
Guard them, for they are the key to life.
Don’t do as the wicked do,
and don’t follow the path of evildoers.
Don’t even think about it; don’t go that way.
Turn away and keep moving.
New Living Translation Pr 4:10-15
Dear friend, take my advice;
it will add years to your life.
I’m writing out clear directions to Wisdom Way,
I’m drawing a map to Righteous Road.
I don’t want you ending up in blind alleys,
or wasting time making wrong turns.
Hold tight to good advice; don’t relax your grip.
Guard it well—your life is at stake!
Don’t take Wicked Bypass;
don’t so much as set foot on that road.
Stay clear of it; give it a wide berth.
Make a detour and be on your way.
