Proverbs 3

My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

11 My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction:

12 For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.

17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

19 The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.

20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

21 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.

23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.

24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.

26 For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.

28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.

29 Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.

30 Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.

31 Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.

32 For the froward is abomination to the Lord: but his secret is with the righteous.

33 The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.

34 Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

35 The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.

  1. Verses 5-12 NLT “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil. Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones. Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce. Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with good wine. My child, don’t reject the Lord’s discipline, and don’t be upset when he corrects you. For the Lord corrects those he loves, just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights.[b] ” Trust in the Lord, Seek his will, Honor the Lord and then receive (whether it be filling with overflowing good things or correction).

  2. My son despise not the chastening of the Lord, neither be wary of his correction. For whom the Lord love the he correcteth even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that geteth understanding. Praise the Lord.

  3. 34 God treats the arrogant as they treat others, mocking the mockers, scorning the scornful, but He pours out His grace on the humble.

    35 In the end, the wise will receive honor, but fools will face humiliation.

    Yet again it’s our choice how we will live our lives. It’s up to us, choose wisely; there are consequences.

  4. 25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.

    Know you have God watching over every step that you’re making, it’s time to stop letting fear take the reigns of your life. Step up and find what’s holding you back from making that break through, then give it to God there’s no other hands like his. His hands are the one the whole world rest in, so trust in the Lord.

    I bless you in the name of the Lord Jesus

  5. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
    8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

    Our hearts are deceitfully wicked and our minds see it’s way to destruction, bottom line, we can’t be trusted to ourselves. Our own knowledge and wisdom is not enough for us to get by. If we trust our own wisdom then have shown our ignorance and have limited ourselves. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom…real wisdom

  6. Never let loyalty and kindness leave you! Tie then around your neck
    as a reminder. Write then deep within your heart.
    Then you will find favor with both God and people, and you will earn a good reputation. Proverbs 3: 3,4 NLT

  7. This chapter today is about trust in the Lord it talk about early in the chapter about trust in the Lord and obeying his Commandments and not trust in the the worldly things but to fear and love God with all you heart later it talk about all the things you gain like wisdom choose ye this day who you shall sever the world or God
    No matter what trust the Lord and believe everything is going to be ok because I know all things are working for my good

  8. Proverbs 3Amplified Bible (AMP)

    The Rewards of Wisdom
    3 My son, do not forget my [a]teaching,
    But let your heart keep my commandments;
    2
    For length of days and years of life [worth living]
    And tranquility and prosperity [the wholeness of life’s blessings] they will add to you.
    3
    Do not let mercy and kindness and truth leave you [instead let these qualities define you];
    Bind them [securely] around your neck,
    Write them on the tablet of your heart.

    We must apply the word of God daily in our life. If we are going to continue in wisdom,mercy,kindness and Truth. The world will call out to you. The world will try to distract you from what God wants for your life thus is why it us so important to begin your day in the word and prayer to end your day the same.
    We have to keep His promises engraved within our mind and kept in the middle of our heart.

    His Strength is Perfect

  9. 34 Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

    But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
    James 4:6‭ KJV

    Jesus, thank You for Your grace. I don’t deserve it. I need it every day. How, LORD, can I stay humble and bring You honor?

    hu·mil·i·ty
    (h)yo͞oˈmilədē/Submit
    noun
    noun: humility
    a modest or low view of one’s own importance; humbleness.
    synonyms: modesty, humbleness, meekness, diffidence, unassertiveness; More
    lack of pride, lack of vanity;
    servility, submissiveness

    antonyms: pride

    Humility means to submit. To keep yourself lowly is to be in a submissive state. God never does anything just for His benefit. He is a jealous God, but He’s not selfish. When He gave Himself for us He proved that. If God puts so much focus on humility and submission, then there should be some sort of a benefit to it. We should have something that we learn from it, grow from it, gain from it, etc.
    It tells us exactly what happens when we truly submit to the terrible and wonderful King of Kings.

    Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
    James 4:7
    This verse is a three step process to get results. He might be a Good of miracles and mystery but He’s also a God of science and order. First you MUST SUBMIT yourself (that means you and all that is in your life, you cannot hide anything in your heart away from God, because it could be what traps you and causes you to fall) then you must RESIST the devil and all of his wiles. It doesn’t matter what form they may come in. If it separates you from God even slightly then you must RESIST. When these two steps are accomplished the devil has to flee from you. God’s word does not return void. The devil will flee. Keep your house and life protected. Submit everything to God. He can take care of it a lot better than we can. 😊

  10. GO WITH GOD

    1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
    2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

    Honor, Trust and Obey the WORD of GOD, we keep the WORD of GOD close to us when read and share it everyday much like we do here on this site. The writer counsels and instructs us to “forget not”.

    In life there are certain times and opportunities that we pay more attention to particular items than others. All of my life I can remember that I have forgot things. Some things I would forget on purpose, such as do homework, clean my room, take out the trash, while other things I just got distracted and forgot them.

    To say we do not value what we forget would be inaccurate. For example, one year ago when I had my eyes examined, it was determined that I need bifocals and that the uv shield on my eyeballs is wearing thin. Thus meaning that I should wear UV sunglasses when in the sunlight. At that time I was blessed to purchase 2 brand new pair of glasses, one for inside and the other identical for outside. Both glasses were the same prescription and possessed the same value to my eyes. However, this past week while traveling, I left town with 2 pair and returned home with only 1 pair. I forgot my sunglasses in Indy. They did not lose any value, they are still effective, but I forgot them. I quickly contacted the rental car company to no avail.

    The point being, I most likely became distracted in cleaning out the rental car and left my valuable sunglasses in the storage compartment of the rental car, which they could not find. This is why the Proverb says to let our HEART keep HIS commandments. I did not forget the pair of glasses that were on my head and we will not forget the commandments of GOD that are in our heart.

    The promise of PEACE and LIFE are in the keeping of GODs commandments.

  11. 3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

    13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
    14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

    21 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
    22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
    23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.

  12. 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

    6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

    This passage right here is one of my favorite scriptures. We go through some situations without going to God in prayer, then we wonder how were going to make it through situations when it fails. If we have trust in God and lean on him and stand upon his word, no matter how small we think about the situation is we must take it to Jesus!

  13. 28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.

    29 Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.

    The word of God constantly refuses us from being selfish self-centered people. Instead it requires us to be giving people who look for opportunities to bless others.

  14. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
    8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

    Moistening is imparted to the bones by the marrow, and thus they are strengthened: “His bones are moistened with marrow” (Job 21:24). Where there is an absence of marrow the drying up of the bones ensues, and hence their strength is impaired, and a general debility of the system sets in – they “wax old” (Psalm 32:3). The effect of a broken spirit is thus described: “A broken spirit drieth up the bones” (Proverbs 17:23) The meaning of the passage is that, as health to the navel and marrow to the bones stand as representatives of physical strength, so the fear of the Lord, etc., is the spiritual strength of God’s children.

    Bone Marrow
    Bone marrow is a spongy substance found in the center of the bones. It manufactures bone marrow stem cells and other substances, which in turn produce blood cells. Each type of blood cell made by the bone marrow has an important job:

    1. Red blood cells carry oxygen to tissues in the body.
    2. Platelets help blood to clot in order to stop bleeding.
    3. White blood cells fight infections.

    The moment we stop fearing God we will
    1. Cut off the breath of God (oxygen) from operating in us and through us
    2.we will bleed out spiritually and we all know that without His blood there is no remission of sin and the body loses its ability to heal itself.
    3. Infection will set in and ultimately kill you spiritually

    Lord teach me not to get so caught up in myself and what I want to do that I lose my genuine fear of You.

    There is hope! Some people may need morrow but there is a thing called a “bone morrow transplant” where they take bone morrow from a individual and transplant it into that is infected with disorders or diseases that causes a defect in their own bone morrow.

    We’ve all said “Lord use me” and sometimes God has to put us in surgery to extract some bone morrow out of us in an effort to save another individual. It can get painful but the reward out weighs the pain.

  15. 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

    6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

    7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

    8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

    So this scripture right here is a blessing in my life, a couple of months ago Joe and I were going to move to Kentucky, we found a church to go to and the move as WE felt was NECESSARY, well we decided this was going to happen, Did we PRAY, NO, we were totally leaning on our own understanding, we even told Pastor all about our plans ( it really wasn’t a plan) and what we were going to do, but we never sought counsel, we never gave him the ability to speak into our life, NOTHING, We didn’t ask God, we said this is what we are going to do and we are going to do it, but God will let you know you done messed up in so many ways, a person that I didn’t think would care at all, spoke to me and God really used him that day! And when we came to our senses, and said ok God here is our situation, we did it ourselves, but give us wisdom how to get us out and help us to not be so carnal in our decision making, help us to trust in you! Because we needed help and it worked, God is changing things around, and he is an amazing God! Do we still need help? Yes because we struggle in areas that we shouldn’t be struggling in, and God is still helping us!

  16. 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
    6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
    7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
    8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

    Many of these verses are about being submitted to the Lord God and his ways. We can’t possibly know all there is to know about God nor this world, so it is wisdom to trust in Him, his word and his ways.

  17. 27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.

    Too often we forget who really deserves the credit for our successes. Circumstances may appear that we are responsible for our success. We must use our good sense, intelligence and apply ourselves. Even the assets of intellect and common sense are from God. In addition, success is usually the result of factors beyond our control. Sometimes it’s simply because God put us at the right place at the right time. If we view our success from this perspective, we begin to get some idea of how dependent we are on God and how deserving He is of our praise.

    Success is enjoyable, but you’ll enjoy it much more when you give God the credit. All that we have and all that we are is the direct result of His blessing. Don’t forget to thank Him and give Him the praise He is due.

  18. iLove to Go Blog
    I’ve heard it said many times that religious folks use God for a crutch. Many carnal folks think it shows that you’re weak if you need God. Well, the Word says to agree with your adversary quickly…so I agree. Yep, I use God as a crutch! Yep, because I take the Word of God literally. The Word says, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and ‘lean’ not unto thine own understanding.” We must lean on Jesus! Jesus is my 1000 foot crutch. Boom

  19. Josiah: 9 Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
    10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
    When we put God first we can get blessed beyond what we could ever imagine. What this world has to offer is all temporal, or temporary. However what God has to offer is also eternal. God does not need what we could offer to Him. He can do anything. He chose to die on the cross for us, so that our sins might be forgiven. However, when we give unto the Lord in tithes if we have a job, offering, or even better our time and our strength it shows God that we put Him first and that we are obeying His word. So, let us GO INVEST in the kingdom of God for, what we get back is greater than we could ever imagine!

  20. Proverbs 3:9-10
    9) Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
    10) So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

    “Burst Out” BREAKTHROUG
    Do you need a BREAKTHROUGH in your finances? GO Give!

  21. 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

    6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

    7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

    When it comes to making a decision, we need to seek Him first, we need to seek His direction and not rely only on ourselves to do what is right. It would be ignorant of us to think we don’t need His direction for our life and to trust in ourselves more than we do God! My trust is in you Lord!

  22. 1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

    2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

    God’s Commnadments are to help us prosper and not hold us back. We don’t need to get mad at pastors advice when he gives it to us, for he is only trying help us prosper. He is over our lives and is spoken to by God so pastors advice is really God’s advice also.

  23. 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
    6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
    7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

    Less of me and more of You is what I need! Allowing God to increase means He’s able to do the work He wants and intends for our lives. It’s like pastor preached yesterday morning: “This is That” can be evident in all our lives if we choose to believe and allow God to do His work.

  24. 2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

    3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

    4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

    5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

    6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

  25. Thank you Jesus for yesterday’s messages, “This Is That!”
    and “Breakthrough!” In Jesus name Amen!

  26. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.”
    ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3:5-6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

    verses 5 and 6: Trust, meaning rely on, depend on; Lean not, meaning do not depend on your own instincts, and Acknowledge him, meaning have fellowship with God in all of life. The result of such devotion is that God will make the paths straight before you.

  27. 4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
    5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

    Finding Godly favor with Him and Man

    My thoughts go to my testimony with my job. Of how in just 2 years I went from going to a part time teller to a full time banker. And Stephen I became a banker I got a $3/he. Raise. Thank you Jesus! Not only did I find favor with God but also with man. When we follow God’s will for our lives and trust and believe in Him great things will happen. Even if we don’t understand the things that we go through. Stay strong and believe that God is fighting for you.
    #GODOSOMETHING by trusting in God and not unto your understanding.

  28. 5-7 Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track. Don’t assume that you know it all. Run to God! Run from evil!

    Tell me God what should I do and where should I go! I trust in you God with my whole heart! Guide me, be my hands and feet God, anoint them as I walk on your path and do your work! I know nothing God and I am nothing without you at my side! I am running to you and running after you God!

  29. 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

    6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

    7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

  30. 11 My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction:
    12 For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
    13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

    I have found that the person with wisdom, does not speak just to speak, they always listen/hear the conversation or look at the situation and sometimes comment but not always. They are prudent I mean the ones with GOD’S WISDOM!!!

  31. 28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.

    29 Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.

  32. So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
    Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
    Worship him.

  33. 13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

    14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

    When we apply the wisdom and knowledge we gather from the bible to our everyday life and decisions, we will gather far more than money can buy. Money cannot buy happiness, only things to occupy us to make us forget the unhappiness. Choosing life and happiness through the relationship we have with Jesus changes our outlook and purpose.

  34. My son, do not forget my law, But let your heart keep my commands; For length of days and long life And peace they will add to you.
    Proverbs 3:1‭-‬2 NKJV

    The word of God is not to hinder us but to show us how to live in peace and prosper. It’s to show us how to trust in Him and overcome any situation.

  35. Although separate warnings are given here, it’s interesting how often you see someone who has forgotten the laws of God fathers become wise in his own eyes. It seems everyone except themselves are able to see the dichotomy and hypocrisy of a path that leads them away from God, and yet still they will not listen because they only see things through their own eyes. A good portion of wisdom lies in the ability to observe and learn from others to avoid making the same mistakes that are often repeated in every generation. When your eyes are used to keep sound wisdom and discretion: ‘So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck. Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.’ The wisdom of God leads us down a safe path where you don’t have to worry about hidden snares that cause you to stumble along the way. It gives you rest and peace wherein the weary can rest ‘and thy sleep shall be sweet… For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.’ His wisdom not only provides you what you need, your desire to seek it captures the interest of God so he intervenes to keep you safe! That is the God we serve! He does ask something in return for all the goodness and mercy he shows to us: ‘Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.’ If God has blessed us, then go bless someone else! If his wisdom resides within us, allow that wisdom to be shared with another! Don’t allow his light to be hid, allow it shine through everything we do so everyone around us has the opportunity to hear the testimony of the goodness of God!

  36. Hannah: “5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all the ways awknowledge him, and he shall direction thy paths. ” Walk in his ways and not your own. He knows every step the path but we only know the step we are taking right now. We don’t know the next step or the step after that. We have to trust in the Lord to guide us and lead us in the right direction. His ways are perfect and above our understanding. Your situation might seem helpless but he knows the end and he will lead you to the other side. Don’t get so caught up with what is happening that you don’t hear the voice of the Lord. He could be trying to lead you and show you where to go. Always place your full trust in the Lord and never stop believing in him. He knows the ending and the best we can do is place our full faith in him through every step we take.

  37. There is a lot of good knowledge, advice and promises in this chapter to heed to, that if his son had listened to would have saved his kingdom. From letting not mercy and truth forsake me, but instead write it in my heart. And I will find favor with God and man. To trust in the Lord with all my heart and not with my own understanding or wisdom. To give God the firstfruits and I will increase. The wisdom continues on in this chapter, may I hide it all in my heart that I may not sin against him.

  38. 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

    It may seem easy to say we trust God with all our heart, but it also requires us to not lean on our own understanding. Following God’s plan for our lives means not only trusting where he is taking us but also not relying on our own knowledge to get us there. Man who have never imagined God would send his Son, Jesus, to die for our sins and give us his Holy Spirit. When we truly trust God he will blow our minds. This leads to wisdom. So far Solomon has covered the spiritual and physical benefits of acquiring wisdom. Like a wise person will enjoy God’s protection (Pr 1:33), long life and prosperity (Pr 3:2), and a good reputation (Pr 3:4). Here he gets down to the brass tacks: the nitty gritty of how to get along with other people. The implication could be that even the most knowlegable person can demonstrate a lack of wisdom in how he or she deals with others. He teaches the principles of being generous, a good neighbor, be fair, be gentle and these practical nuggets of wisdom we can carry out into everyday life.

  39. 5 “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.”
    6 “In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
    7 “Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.”
    8 “It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.”

    i need to seek you first in all my decisions. Before I decide on my own. I put my trust all in you Lord!

  40. 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

    6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

    7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

    8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

    We find that trusting in God and acknowledging Him will direct your paths. But we must surrender our hearts to him that he may truly lead our lives. We are not too to try to reason or figure out things but trust in Him and ask. One may say buy here is a shorter faster way to get to something in my life but at what cost. He may want you to take a left then a right to keep you from trouble and show you the right path.

  41. Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:(Proverbs 3:3 KJV)

    Our walk with Christ is very serious its more like eternity serious. We have to be examples to others around us and show them how to love one another like Jesus Christ loved us. We also have to be faithful with our relationship with God and is like an etching in our heart that is permanent.

  42. 1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

    God loves us all, he wants us to follow his teachings and follow him. If we make better choices and honor God he will bless us abundantly.

  43. Proverbios-3:9 y10 Honra al Señor con tus riquezas
    y con los primeros frutos de tus cosechas;
    así se llenarán a reventar
    tus graneros y tus depósitos de vino.

  44. 15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

    There’s nothing more valuable than wisdom.

  45. 20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

    21 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

    22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.

    23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.

    24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

    25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.

    26 For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

    27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.

    28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
