The Blessings Of Proverbs 3
If you’re following our suggested plan for daily Bible reading, you should be reading Proverbs 3 today, and since it’s SO good I’ve decided to make it the topic for today’s post. So here’s a link to Proverbs 3 (NLT).
In this single chapter, God tells us how we can have a long and satisfying life, find favor with God and man, have a good reputation, get Him to direct our paths, gain renewed health and vitality, have our needs met with an overflowing abundance of the finest quality, have life with riches and honor, travel delightful paths, be satisfied, be happy, access God’s power, enjoy honor and respect, stay safe and avoid stumbling, rest without fear and enjoy pleasant dreams, have no fear of disaster or destruction, be secure in the Lord’s protection, avoid falling into a trap, enjoy the Lord’s friendship, receive the Lord’s blessing on our homes, be shown the Lord’s favor, inherit honor, and not be put to shame! Wow! I don’t know anyone who doesn’t want all of that, especially when we’re standing for the restoration of our marriages and all of this seems so unattainable in the midst of our current situations. God is NOT a liar, so there’s nothing better we can do than understand and apply the wisdom the Lord provides in this chapter.
