A Gift God Asks
Proverbs 23:26
My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways.…


(to the young: —

I. GOD ASKING SOMETHING. God who is continually giving to us all, is here asking for something.

II. FROM WHOM HE ASKS IT. Not from any' one great, but from us.

III. WHAT HE ASKS. We could not give Him the things we have, for they are His already. He asks for yourself.

IV. WHY HE ASKS IT. This you may learn from the name He gives you. "My son." You are even by nature precious to God.

( C. A. Salmond, M.A.)
