Summary of Proverbs-Part 2
While I write this lesson, it is Saturday morning and I don't know the results of the hurricane heading toward Florida. I have family living there, and probably some of you do, too. I have been praying that the winds do not make it to landfall, but turns up the coast. We will wait and see what God deems best. We will trust in our God.
As I look over the verses highlighted from our study of Proverbs, which took 4 months and 78 posts, there are some worthy of review every now and then. Here are some:
- Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. (3:5-6)
- Honor the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase. (3:9)
- For whom the LORD loveth He correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. (3:12)
- Her (wisdom's) ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. (3:17)
Acknowledge is to know.
We may not fully understand what is going on in our life, but we are completely confident that God has this. We love our God so much and we know Him, believing He is going to direct our paths. It is a total trust, commitment of life. As believers, we tithe from our income, showing that God is our provider and we depend upon Him for everything.
As for corrections, they may not be pleasant at the time, but needful so we can be more like Jesus.
As we gain wisdom, we have peace.
Peace is the highest reward in the New Testament for the life of dependence upon God (Phil.4:6,7).

What are you trusting God to do? In the meantime, let us walk by faith.
