God’s Strengthening Word: Learning From Biblical Teachingsنموونە

Introduction

Proverbs 3:1–35: Obeying the LORD’s teachings will show one the right way to live. True happiness is gained by having wisdom from the LORD.

Today’s Key Verse: Proverbs 3:5 GNT

Trust in the LORD with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know.

Reflect

How does the writer talk about the effects of obedience in verses 7–8? Reread verses 13–26. How is the value of wisdom described? What are your thoughts as you read these verses? Verses 33–35 feature a series of contrasts of positive and negative behavior. What do these verses teach you? Look back again at verse 3. How can you “write on your heart” these qualities and keep them fresh in your memory?

Pray

Lord God, I trust in you with all my heart. Lead me this day. I know that you will show me the right way. You will strengthen me and make me a person known for loyalty and faithfulness. Amen.
