Proverbs 3

Today, make sure to read Proverbs 3

Lessons to be learned from P3:

When we heed wisdom, our lives are prolonged, we experience peace, and we experience prosperity.
When we act with love and faithfulness we gain favor both with God and man.

We are not to trust ourselves because our knowledge is limited. Rather, we can fully put our trust in the Lord who will guide us perfectly in every matter of life.
When we turn our backs on evil in favor of the Lord, we prosper.

The Lord has given us much. He entrusts many riches to us. If we put Him first in the management of what He’s given, He will bless us even more abundantly.
We know we are loved when the Lord disciplines us. We ought not resent His chastening.

We are blessed when we seek and find wisdom. Wisdom is more precious than the most precious of gems.
Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace is.

Wisdom is the foundation for God’s design of this earth.
We are to keep the ways of wisdom ever before us. Life, safety, stability, peace, and confidence are the by-products of walking in wisdom.

When it is within your power, don’t withhold good from those to whom it is due. Be just, and in doing so, you will avoid all sorts of conflict.
Sometimes others gain things that we’d like to posess, but they use wicked methods. Resist the urge to reduce yourself to their ways because the Lord hates their ways. However, He embraces and holds close those who are upright.

The Lord blesses the righteous, shows favor to the humble, and sets up the wise to receive honor.
