Proverbs 3

Proverbs 3. Experiencing God's Best!

Verses 1-4 are reminders and verses of encouragement to stay focused on God and to stay steadfast in applying His teachings in every area of our lives. You can sense the words of warning to give all attention that we not wander from the path by following others.

I love the reward God promises to those who trust and follow Him! "So you will find favor and success in the sight of God and man!" Ever wondered how you could get God's favor on your life? 

Verse 1-4 make it very plain. Ever wondered how to get your life turned around? It is no mystery, God has told us! "Trust in..."

I don't know how many times I have quoted and stood on verses 5-10. Look at them with me:

V.5. “Trust in the LORD with all your heart,and do not lean on your own understanding. (Let go of control)
6 In all your ways acknowledge him,and he l will make straight”
“your paths. (Seek His will first)
7 Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil. (Don't be tricked that you have a better plan or that your situation is "different!")
8 It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.
9 Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the first fruits of all your produce; (Are you returning to God His tithe? Do not rob God! You place your life under a curse and are easy prey for Satan!)
10 then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.”  (Blessings follow obedience!). 

This is Pastor John reminding you, "Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, just to take Him at His Word!"  Choose to be blessed, give God something to bless!
