Proverbs 3:1-7 (NIV)
“My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity. Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will find favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.”
Finally, trust God and do not depend on our own intellect for understanding. Take everything to him in prayer and God will make our paths straight (direct, guide, deliver, set free). God will answer our prayers. We are to turn away from evil and fear the Lord which will bring health to our bodies.
Be blessed.

This passage scripture is powerful and full of life changing promises. Let’s examine.
We are to remember (and do) God’s teaching, word, commandments, instruction and we do this by keeping them in our heart (spirit). To keep God’s word in your heart, you must study his word and know his word. Long life and prosperity is promised to us when we remember and keep God’s teaching and commands.
We are instructed to love always and to have faith; and again to do this by writing them in our heart (spirit). God word tells us that the greatest commandment is to love. When we walk in love we are pleasing to God because he is love. And as a being obedient and walking in love, we will have favor with God and with man.
Finally, trust God and do not depend on our own intellect for understanding. Take everything to him in prayer and God will make our paths straight (direct, guide, deliver, set free). God will answer our prayers. We are to turn away from evil and fear the Lord which will bring health to our bodies.
Be blessed.
