Proverbs 3:1

Proverbs 3:1 (NLT) My child, never forget the things I have taught you. Store my commands in your heart. Proverbs is full of wisdom and instruction on how to obtain it. One year I read it through twelve times by reading a chapter each day. In our through the Bible plan, today we read the third chapter. I want to write on the whole chapter but don’t have space. Take time to read slowly through chapter 3. Notice the topics – Store what is said in Proverbs in your heart. Hang out with loyalty and kindness and you’ll find favor with people and God. Trust the Lord with all your heart and seek His will so He will put your feet on the right path. Don’t think you’re smart enough do it on your own. Honor the Lord with your wealth, actually the best, the cream of the crop of everything you produce, then He will fill your barns. Accept discipline because that is a loving friend or father’s way to help you. Seek the mind of God because His wisdom is far more precious and fulfilling than precious rubies, gold or any other satisfying thing or person. This is a chapter that could be a daily prayer outline for you. I hope I have wet your appetite to read this chapter and follow through with a daily time with God. Ricky told me that 2011 was his first year through the entire Bible and “It has given me a better understanding of where we all come from, more understanding of how real God is, and it has made me want to obey His word no matter how hard it can be at times. I personally don’t like reading, but putting forth the extra effort to read it has given God a chance to speak to me…” Great job Ricky.
