"Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life. Proverbs 4:13 NIV
What does it mean to hold on to instruction? It means to comply with or follow the commands or wishes, to submit or conform in action to (some guiding principle, impulse, one's conscience, etc.), It also means to put yourself under the authority of another and to agree to obey."
After you've given your life to Christ, you start receiving guidance from the Word through the Holy Spirit and your Pastor (2 Timothy 3:16). The blessings of God are in most times simple instructions He gives. Many have neglected such instructions to their disadvantage.
There are several advantages to the one who holds on to instruction; he bears much fruit (John 15:5), no darkness can stand against him, he gains Wisdom and revelation (James 1:5) to carryout the work and lives in freedom. Obeying instructions keeps you free, it removes fear, it protects your mind and maintains your integrity. Also it gives you peace and stability that cannot be denied. The kind of peace that establishes your dignity, honor and personality.
