Honor and Trust the Lord!

My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man. 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. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. - Proverbs 3:1-10

One important lesson in life is to keep the commandments of the Lord. The result is long life and peace. When we honor and trust the Lord we become as a child in our faith in His higher ways offering far better results than our finite ways. God encourages us to speak the truth and be merciful. God makes it clear that when we obey the simple truths it brings favor and understanding both from God and man. Trusting and obeying the Lord is not always easy. It requires us to let go of our control in the flesh and understand that God has our best interest at hand. Today, as you fear the Lord and Honor him health and marrow to your bones is present. The life that we enjoy in the natural comes from the marrow in our bones. As you honor the Lord by giving of your substance your barns will be filled and your wine presses will bring forth new wine.

Blessings on your day,
