A really important “Coffee With the Lord” repost from several years ago [but my Bible reading today once again]!!!
PROVERBS 3:1-12, FOR ME, EXPRESSES SEVERAL KEY LIFE-PRINCIPLES that have guided my life over the years. I read them again this morning with relish. I would have to say these are core concepts that I have personally embraced – they have made all the difference in the quality of my daily life. Each comes with a wonderful promise or assurance. I highly recommend them! Here is a fresh personal statement of those principles…
1. Don’t forget the reliable life-lessons you’ve been taught by the key influencers in your life! What they have invested in you will adorn and distinguish your life. (Vss.1-2)
2. Embrace and live out your covenant relationships! God will honor you… and so with others. (Vss.3-4)
3. Trust in the Lord completely – don’t try to run your own life! The Lord will smooth out your path and work out all the details. (Vss. 5-6)
4. Reverence the Lord and live out that reverence humbly! It is the healthy way to live and you discover fresh vitality in your life. (Vss. 7-8)
5. Honor the Lord with your income and all you possess! He promises to prosper you! (Vss. 9-10)
6. Accept your Heavenly Father’s discipline! It is a sign that he cares about you – that he deeply loves you and you’re his child. (Vss. 11-12 cp. Hebrews 12:5-11)
Take it from me… this passage is worth committing to memory!
