Trust in the Lord with All Your Heart

Keep the Lord's commandments:

My son, do not forget my teaching,

but let your heart keep my commandments,

for length of days and years of life

and peace they will add to you.

Write them on your heart!

Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you;

bind them around your neck;

write them on the tablet of your heart.

So you will find favor and good success

in the sight of God and man.

Trust in the Lord...not man.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,

and do not lean on your own understanding.

In all your ways acknowledge him,

and he will make straight your paths.

Be not wise in your own eyes;

fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.

It will be healing to your flesh

and refreshment to your bones.

Honor the Lord, not just for the benefits, but there will be benefits.

Honor the Lord with your wealth 

and with the firstfruits of all your produce;

then your barns will be filled with plenty,

and your vats will be bursting with wine.

You will get disciplined.

My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline

or be weary of his reproof,

for the Lord reproves him whom he loves,

as a father the son in whom he delights.*

Proverbs 3:1-12

*the Greek version reads that last line as /

and he punishes those he accepts as his children. 

He is accepting you as his children, there is no greater achievement! 

After the relationship post last week this lesson is such a good follow up.  This post was for me.  My lesson, for the week from my heavenly Father.

Blessings,

Sherry
