Proverbs 3
May 13 in Proverbs
God addresses you as a father who wants the best for you and who wants you to realize the importance of wisdom. His wisdom is creative He made all that we see and is of more value than all the gold and silver in the world; for wisdom brings blessings … long life (v.2,16), happiness (v.8,13,18,22), Honour (v.4,35), Safety (v.23,24,26,33), Grace (v.34….grace is receiving that which we don’t deserve), Direction (v.6). You are so loved by God and so He corrects as a father v.12 Counsels (v.32) which is always different to what others say for it is the way of wisdom. We are told on our part to keep His commands and write them on our hearts. Trust Him and give to Him all that worries us…be ready to do things His way, depart from sin and evil. We are told NOT to lean on our own thoughts and understanding nor be wise in our own eyes…and He shall direct our paths…then you will walk safely and your foot will not stumble;) v.23 Fools only inherit shame. Lets be wise and give everything to Him to sort out for us today. His love for you has not changed!
