God's Children #10

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. Let not mercy and truth forsake you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart, And so find favor and high esteem in the sight of God and man. 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. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones. Honor the LORD with your possessions, and with the firstfruits of all your increase; So your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine. 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.

Proverbs 3:1-12, www.solascriptura.com

Father, for Solomon's wisdom, imparted to us, we are grateful. Help us, this day, to bind Your truth, to secure it for eternity and to know that it gives us guidance, comfort and counsel.

Father, we do not, if we have any idea of Your Holiness, lean upon our own understanding. It is Your understanding of all of the circumstances of our lives that we depend upon. We know You love us and will provide for us as we seek to serve You.

We do regard Your corrections of us as important and for our own good. We are imperfect, in so many ways. Bless as we seek to be like You Jesus We pray in Jesus' name, amen.
