Proverbs 3

Chapter 3 starts with a very uplifting and freeing verse. Do not forget the teachings and keep the commands. For by doing this you will have days, and years of life of peace. There is an emphasis on remaining kind resulting in winning favor and good esteem before God and man. And the very well known verse to trust in the Lord, don't lean on your own understanding. But acknowledge the Lord as He alone will direct your paths. Tithing us mentioned by saying to honor the Lord with first fruits. I've experuebced first hand of "less being more" when my first 10% of income goes towards what God has called me to use it for. I am more inclined to find wisdom when I read that happy is that man! Wisdom is talked about with such high esteem. It brings forth so much good fruit within. To possess wisdom is richness. The Lord, by wisdom, founded the earth. The Lord made us in His image. Don't plot evil against fellow man. God takes care of the wicked and unjust. He blesses the just mans house. He is kind to the humble. There is so much for me to let sink in and digest and talk to the Lord about. May these not just be words, but a lifestyle!
