He Instructs Me While I Sleep

I woke up with the words 'unripe fruit' on my mind. I wouldn't eat unripe fruit, so why in the world would I want any promise from God to be fulfilled in my life before the fullness of its time? I love the verse that says God gives me counsel and instructs me while I sleep / Psalm 16:7 (...and in the morning, the "AHA!" comes).

Oh, My Eyes!

Wisdom says: "Guard my instructions as you guard your own eyes." (Prov. 7:2, NLT). When I think of the reflexive nature by which my eyelids and hands physically guard my eyes from any threat of harm...even a perceived threat of harm, I realize that I must be much deeper in the Word so that guarding wisdom's instruction in my life is not just a conscious act, but an instant reflex.
