Journey through Proverbs in December... Today- CHapter 3

Proverbs 3 highlights the rewards of wisdom.  

"

How blessed is the man who finds wisdom
         And the man who gains understanding.

For her profit is better than the profit of silver
         And her gain better than fine gold.

She is more precious than jewels;
         And nothing you desire compares with her. (Prov 3: 13-15)


This chapter also holds verses I memorized as a little kid: Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the LORD with all your heart
         And do not lean on your own understanding.

In all your ways acknowledge Him,
         And He will make your paths straight.

Although I memorized these 2 verses at a young age, I am learning even more about them now.  God has been teaching me what it means to trust Him completely.  It's a scary but rewarding thing, trust.  Yet He calls all of His children to trust completely in Him but too often I try to rely on my own limited understanding of things instead of trusting the One who knows everything.

Keep digging into Proverbs this month!
