Good Morning!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Proverbs 3:1-19 ~ Being wise leads to blessings: Long life, prosperity, favor with God and man, understanding and more. How to be wise: #prayforwisdom
I am loving Proverbs! Remember we said they are principles and not promises, but many of them could be like promises! We know that it is God's Word and it is true!
How many of you can memorize scripture? Yes, we all can! Look at verse one - "...keep my commands in your heart..." Take a verse or two a day and memorize them and "keep them in your heart".
Look at verse 3 - aren't these characteristics of our Christian life - Love and faithfulness? It says to write them on the tablet of your heart and don't let them leave you.
Verses 5 and 6 are very familiar verses and these are two verses that you should memorize. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." This is pretty much a "promise" and is restated throughout Scripture - Trust God with everything you are and He will guide you through life. He will walk every step of the way with you and never leave you! Personally, I don't know how those without a personal relationship with God through Jesus make it through life.
Reading forward in this passage we find that God disciplines His children because He loves us! We also read that wisdom is rich and profitable, more precious than rubies, it brings long life, honor and peace, and she (wisdom) brings blessing.
There is a lot of good stuff in this passage. Take a verse at a time and re-read and ponder. Spend some quality time with the Lord and see what He is speaking to you today!
Have a great Saturday!
