Pro 3:1-2, 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.
Wisdom will preserve your life; it will keep you from an evil path or having fools for friends! Following the foot steps of a fool will lead to death, but wisdom will add to your life!
Pro 28:26, HE WHO TRUSTS IN HIS OWN HEART IS A FOOL, BUT WHOEVER WALKS WISELY WILL BE DELIVERED.
Pro 3:5-6, Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
It’s easy to trust in GOD when everything is going well, but when trials come then your faith is tested! It’s not easy and doubt will come but much like fine gold is purged of impurities by fire so is your faith being purged by trials!
Mal 3:3, HE WILL SIT AS A REFINER AND A PURIFIER OF SILVER; HE WILL PURIFY THE SONS OF LEVI, AND PURGE THEM AS GOLD AND SILVER, THAT THEY MAY OFFER TO THE LORD AN OFFERING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Leaning on our understanding is our default, but the LORD is saying TRUST IN ME, LET THAT BE YOUR NEW DEFAULT REACTION TO ANY CIRCUMSTANCE!
Mar 9:23-24, Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “LORD, I BELIEVE; HELP MY UNBELIEF!”
Pro 3:11-12, My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD, Nor detest His correction; For whom the LORD loves He corrects, Just as a father the son in whom he delights.
As a loving father corrects his child, and not his neighbor’s child, so does the LORD correct HIS children! Are you HIS?
Heb 12:7-8, If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? BUT IF YOU ARE WITHOUT CHASTENING, of which all have become partakers, THEN YOU ARE ILLEGITIMATE AND NOT SONS.
Trusting in the work of the unseen FATHER is foolish to non-believers, but for Christians we clearly see HIS provisions in life! REMEMBER HE IS FAITHFUL AND MERCIFUL! TRUST IN THE LORD AND HE SHALL DIRECT YOUR PATH!
