Shalom,

Proverbs give us the Wisdom of God for situations and also show us what happens when we forsake this Wisdom! Today we read Proverbs 3. Verses 1-6 tells us this:

1 My son, forget not my law or teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments;
2 For length of days and years of a life [worth living] and tranquility [inward and outward and continuing through old age till death], these shall they add to you.
3 Let not mercy and kindness [shutting out all hatred and selfishness] and truth [shutting out all deliberate hypocrisy or falsehood] forsake you; bind them about your neck, write them upon the tablet of your heart.
4 So shall you find favor, good understanding, and high esteem in the sight [or judgment] of God and man.
5 Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.
6 In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.

Notice that we have a choice to makeconcerning the Word of God! ('Let' means we have a choice to do so or not!) When we DO verses 1, then verse 2 is the promised result! When we obey and DO verse 3, then we will be able to walk in verse 4! All through the Word of God we are presented with GOD'S Way and given the CHOICE to do it! OUR choices produce the results we will have. Let's make obeying God's Word our top priority and walk in all of the BLESSINGS that HE has promised! THIS blesses HIM!

Shalom in Him!
