PROVERBS 3...Truth from the Law, Prophets and Wisdom Literature.
You may have heard the term, "Wisdom of Solomon" as I have over
my entire lifetime. Chapter three has encapsulated much wisdom
as might be expected from, probably, the wisest man to live, except
for Jesus Christ, God the Son. Nothing remains that is attributed
to our Lord, as "His writings."
Proverbs 3: 1-13
My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my command-
ments: 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 tables of thine heart.
So shall 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. Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with
the first fruits of all thine increase. So shall thy barns be filled with
plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. kjv
The following is a comment on each verse, 1-13 of the 3rd chapter
of the Proverbs of Solomon, Son of David. As we look into this
chapter we discover "secrets" for living successfully in the eyes
of God and man:
I. Keep God's Law, live long in peace. vs. 1-2
II. Make mercy and truth the effort from you heart and find favor
with God and man. vs. 3-4
III. Trust the Lord God, rather than your understanding, submit
to him, and He will give you direction and more. vs. 5-6
IV. Do not be too proud to fear the Lord and you will be healthier
and stronger. vs. 7-8
V. Honor the Lord with your possessions and income and enjoy
freedom from want. vs. 9-10
VI. Accept Chastening from the Lord and find Happiness, Wisdom
and Understanding. vs. 13
The book of proverbs contains 31 chapters, making it convenient
to read one chapter per day in a month. The third chapter has
become one of my favorite passages in all of Scripture...
