Proverbs 3:21a “My son, do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight,” God’s repeated message regarding the extreme value of wisdom and understanding which ONLY come from Him. Without our Savior and our eyes focused on Him we lead lives with no value–NO VALUE—can that be true? Read the Bible and discover the true meaning of life, death and eternity. Live lives of extreme value–cherish wisdom and understanding.

Proverbs 3:11-12 ” My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.” Discipline comes with expectations of obedience. When a child sees there are no consequences for disobedience, unfortunately a parent has just taught the child disobedience and respect and love is lost. Whenever sinful pleasures become the norm and God’s Word and wisdom are ignored a life becomes chaotic and diseased and the love of our Heavenly Father is lost. Lesson: love wise parents and God’s wisdom.

Proverbs 3:7 “Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil.” The absolute basis for faith is knowing our Redeemer and God’s will for each of our lives. Our opinions mean zero. Man’s weak thinking seems to be just the opposite—-my opinion is ultra important while God’s wisdom is at best questionable. This proverb expresses absolute truth. The wisdom it holds means everything.

Proverbs 3:6 “In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Why is there so much confusion and difficulty in both the world and in our own lives? Why don’t you and I and the rest of the world enjoy the peace and comfort and assured hope promised by our faithful God? Why? Because we forget the promise of the truth so clearly stated in this sentence. To rely on the truth of this verse and apply the truth it expresses would change our entire life and the lives of the entire world.

Proverbs 1:10 “My son, if sinful men entice you, do not give in to them.” You can tell who a person is by the company they keep. The company you and I keep is like looking into a mirror and seeing who we are. Your friends, whether they are leaders or not, will influence you toward the positive or to the negative. Where do you want to be led?

Proverbs 1:8 “Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.” God assumes Christian parenting. God assumes obedient children. The result is wise children who do the same as their parents. God, of course, knows both wise parenting and obedient children don’t always happen, but His instruction is the wisest instruction in all the world. So, if you and I are children or parents or both, be wise and listen to our Heavenly Father.
