He Will Make Your Paths
Straight
My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your
heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and
prosperity.
Let love and faithfulness never
leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.
Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.
Trust in the LORD with all your
heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
Do not be wise in your own
eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and
nourishment to your bones.
Honor the LORD with your
wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then
your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new
wine.
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.
Proverbs 3:1-12
There are times when doors of
opportunity are shut in our faces. We are forced to move in new directions. We
make these moves in life, realizing that we have a job to do. Once we have
taken something as far as we can, God will provide.
Depend on God. Be confident in
your beliefs. And say thank you, all the time for what you have. Gratitude is a
mark of godliness.
