Portions of Proverbs 3
The book of Proverbs is so rich in teaching and guidance. So many of the verses simply reflect the premise that if “if we do that”, “this” will be the result. Below I have listed some of the results from Proverbs 3, probably my favorite chapter of Proverbs.
The Scriptures declare that God rewards those who diligently seek Him. Following the instructions in Proverbs is a way of doing that. I encourage you to go look and see what the “if we do that” portions are for each of these blessings – and then commit yourself to doing them.
2 for they will prolong your life many years
and bring you prosperity.
4 Then you will win favor and a good name
in the sight of God and man.
6b and he will make your paths straight.
8 This will bring health to your body
and nourishment to your bones.
10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing,
and your vats will brim over with new wine.
