Discuss Proverbs 3 Page 17

seeking understanding

Yes this is true. The longer the Lord gives me on this earth the clearer this has become.

Proverbs 3:5,6

God knows that our "will" would always be our biggest hurdle to giving ourselves completely to doing God's Will - let go and enjoy His abundant joy & peace; He Loves Us despite our wicked ways & gave up His most precious Son just to be able to have us in His presence - could any of us do that? Not Likely :(

This is so true, my mother told me this verse many a times, and if I just stay true to its meaning my life will always be good.

With wisdom comes understanding......Sometimes we look at the glass half full and become discourage, as we grow and trust GOD more is revealed. Jesus is the truth and the light! Blessed by this reading today.

I enjoy learning the Bible. By having the trivia questions at the end it helps me remember what i read.

If you think the Catholic Church is the Anti-Christ, think again. Be careful on how you pull down thrones with your tongue. For every word that you speak you will be judged by it. There are no two ways of interpreting the Bible. If you are of Christ, you know that Bible is spiritually inspired. What is this that I saw that says that the son of man will take fighter and fight. Do you not understand that power was given to the anti-Christ to fight the people of God? The Bible is of no private interpretation ( 2 Peter 1:20). If one lacks wisdom, ask and it shall be given him/her. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding, Proverbs 3:5.

One of my favorites I love that scripture

This proves that God creates his purpose for our lives.

The choices we make in life have great impact and significant role to play in our lives. Lot was given an opportunity to choose a dwelling place. Genesis 13:9 is not the whole land before thee? Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left. Lot lifted up his eyes and saw the plain of Jordan well watered. The thought of encountering little or no challenge must have been one of the reasons why he chose that place. At the end he lost all his possessions, his wife and his daughters made him to commit incest with them. 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. Proverbs 3:5-6.

@Patrick,
I am sympathetic to your situation for I have recently lost my position in a hospital that I have been with for several years because of knee replacement and no longer am able to perform my position at the level that is expected.
1. A door closed by God cannot be opened by man and a door opened by God cannot be closed by man!
2. Others maybe dependent on us, but we must always trust in the lord and be always dependent on him ( Proverbs 3:5-8; Philippians 4:19);
3. As for judgment on the world ( John 16:8-11), we must first judge ourselves to check our standing with God ( 1 Corinthians 11:31,32);
4. God has already judged sinners at the cross;
5. God will judge the world, nations, and people according to his holy scriptures by his son Jesus Christ ( Romans 2:14-16);
6. The judgment seat of Christ for born again Christians ( Romans 14:10, 2 Corinthians 5:10; 1 Corinthians 3:13);
7. The white throne judgment for persons who have not been born again ( Revelation 20:11-15);
8. Born again by the holy spirit only without water baptism or any other works related deeds that some religions require.

Thank God for discipline, for whom the Lord loves he disciplines; every son He receives. And this is so that we will be partakers of His holiness. Be at peace with all men, and follow holiness, for without holiness no man shall see the Lord. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see the Lord.

God’s style is principally instructional, corrective and advisory. A look at the book of proverbs reveals that He through Solomom, always refers to His children from the angle and perception of fatherly love. That somehow breaths intimacy into such relationship. And because God is our Heavenly Father, His blessings, demands, corrections, admonitions , warnings and encouragement have on them, inherent supernatural protection. Honestly, what He has for each one of us differs yet, in line with His wisdom. There are admonitions to give, concentrated attention to His sayings- there are also divine warnings against immorality no matter how it is packaged. The truth of the matter is that, the substances, within a believer in the LORD are meant to bless and serve the living God, in whatever assignment or task He has for them that love Him. Hence, when that is not the case, such substances and vitreous can’t get involved in it. Immorality is not only a deceiver but also an afflicter - in fact it is a distracter and hence, it is wise to avoid and flee from it. Therefore, the great importance of such fatherly warnings and instructions are contained in the book of Proverbs. And, all segments of God’s Holy Writ. The book of proverbs has inherent in it, brilliances and different intimacies of wisdom for whomever dares to trust the LORD. And that is because it is God’s righteousness that blesses, protects, encourages, cleanses and prospers a nation. When attention is given to the truths of God’s Word, and His dictates are practiced and honoured, God cannot but greatly and remarkably pour His blessings upon its recipients. He is the LORD, and His name is holy. His faithfulness ensures throughout all generations. May the name of the LORD God be glorified and magnified forever and ever. Hallelujah!

@Donna,
It is commonly a well known fact that unbelievers are much less tolerable and much more opinionated against believers than vise versa. II Corinthians 12:10 the holy spirit (via Paul) states that when I am weak then I am strong. Weak=humble, when we are trusting in our own human strength (physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, intellectually) then God has difficulty strengthening us in his might (spiritually, understanding, wisdom, knowledge, etc), Proverbs 3:1-13; 5:9, Philippians 4:13.

To find peace, love and trust God above all. And believe the Word of God.

There are 31 days in a month, there are 31 proverbs. If you read a proverb a day it will keep you healthy, wealthy and wise.

True indeed, simple but so powerful..I am learning.

@Terry,
In case we are wronged, the Bible in the same book of Proverbs recommends that one should defend his/her cause, while keeping lawful.
You may read that in Proverbs 25:9 where it says ‘’Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another:’’
God bless you.

What if you are a Christian and there is cause, what does one do in reference to proverbs chapter 3 verse 30.

Thank you Jesus for loving me even when I am a sinner I know you are waiting for me to follow you I except

THE LORD TELLS US TO TRUST IN HIM WITH ALL OUR HEART DONT LEAN TO OUR UNDERSTANDING AND IN ALL YOUR WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM,AND HE WILL DIRECT YOUR PATH.IF I GET MYSELF OUT OF THE WAY AND TRUST JESUS,AND PUT FAITH ALONG WITH IT THINGS WOULD GO MUCH BETTER. ITS LIKE PETER WENT WALKING ON THE WATER TO JESUS/// UNTIL PETER TOOK HIS EYES OFF JESUS.AND DOWN HE WENT,LIKE TRUST WITH ALL YOU HAVE.WHEN WE WERE SINNERS REALY WHO COULD WE TRUST.I HAVE TO REMIND MYSELF WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF LORDS//JESUS IS ALL I NEED FROM DAY TO DAY.IT LIKE A HORSE YOU HAVE TO PUT BLINDERS ON THEM SO THE HORSE CANT SEE WHOS ON THE LEFT OF HIM OR WHOS ON THE RIGHT OF HIM ALL THE HORSE CAN SEE IS WHATS INFRONT OF HIM THATS TO WIN THE RACE//// LIKE MYSELF I WANT TO TRUST IN THE LORD ONE DAY AT A TIME DONT LOOK TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT//BUT KEEP MY EYES INFRONT ON JESUS NOT THE THINGS OF THIS WORLD // EYES ON JESUS AND THE CROSS AND I KNOW WE ALL WILL WIN// THE RACE.8/28/12 340AM

This verse gives me the blessed assurance that I can confidently believe in God to care for and sustain me in every situation of life.Trust means that I believe, and if I believe, it becomes easy to trust.

It touches my heart very much,we as Christians need to be careful how we live with our neighbours.a.

This proverb gets me through each day. Going thru a very difficult period in my life and rely on the Lord to direct my path.

We are living in difficult days, and we must remember to trust in the Lord with all of our heart, and lean not unto our understanding. In all thy ways, we must acknowledge Him, and He shall direct our path. God gives us the wisdom we need to make the right decisions, when we ask in faith. The Day of the Lord is going to come as a thief in the night, and the whole world will be caught unaware of what is going to happen. That is why we are not to be afriad of sudden fear,or of the destruction of the wicked when it comes, for God shall be our confidence, and shall keep our feet from being taken. Jesus said because you have kept the word of my patience, I will keep you from the hour of trial that will come upon the whole world.(Rev.3:10)
What a mighty God we serve, and we praise Him for what He is going to do. Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and Glory Amen.

Applying this verse to our daily life is so very important...We must get on our knees and pray anytime we feel like we are going to falter...Thank you Lord for all of your teachings...

IT takes effort for me to remember to consider JESUS in all my decision making.I aim to get better at it....

a verse to live by.

LIVING IS TO BREATHE .TO NOT BREATHE is death !THERE is WISDOM in breathing.FOLLOWING JESUS`s commands give a prosperous life.OBEDIENCE is like BREATHING.JESUS LOVES US .
