My words of wisdom are just that "in Fact" ; Not vain
imaginations for as I set the station of the entire
universe for you to live and move and have your being;
without Me , My guidance or walk in the understanding of
My wisdom and counsel is total futility and causes My
sheep to retreat and fall when truly I have blessed
everything that is My divine will and Testimony of My Son.
So come and listen at My feet , for the counsel of fools leads you to folly and no promise, quest, battle or business should be advanced without My will or counsel for I AM in and through all things.
So I stand at your destiny even now "awaiting" for your
eyes to be fixed upon me.
Proverbs 3
The Rewards of Wisdom
3 My son, do not forget my teaching,
But let your heart keep my
commandments;
2
For length of days and years
of life [worth living]
And tranquility and prosperity
[the wholeness of life’s
blessings] they will add to
you.
3
Do not let mercy and kindness
and truth leave you [instead
let these qualities define
you];
Bind them [securely] around
your neck,
Write them on the tablet of
your heart.
4
So find favor and high esteem
In the sight of God and man.
5
Trust in and rely confidently
on the Lord with all your
heart
And do not rely on your own
insight or understanding.
6
In all your
ways know and acknowledge
and recognize Him,
And He will make your paths
straight and smooth [removing
obstacles that block your
way].
7
Do not be wise in your own
eyes;
Fear the Lord [with reverent
awe and obedience] and turn
[entirely] away from evil.
8
It will be health to your body
[your marrow, your nerves,
your sinews, your muscles—all
your inner parts]
And refreshment (physical
well-being) to your bones.
9
Honor the Lord with your
wealth
And with the first fruits of
all your crops (income);
10
Then your barns will be
abundantly filled
And your vats will overflow
with new wine.
11
My son, do not reject or take
lightly the discipline of
the Lord[learn from your
mistakes and the testing that
comes from His correction
through discipline];
Nor despise His rebuke,
12
For those whom the Lord loves
He corrects,
Even as a father corrects the
son in whom he delights.
13
Happy [blessed, considered
fortunate, to be admired] is
the man who finds [skillful
and godly] wisdom,
And the man who gains
understanding and insight
[learning from God’s word and life’s
experiences],
14
For wisdom’s profit is better
than the profit of silver,
And her gain is better than
fine gold.
15
She is more precious than
rubies;
And nothing you can wish for
compares with her [in value].
16
Long life is in her right
hand;
In her left hand are riches
and honor.
17
Her ways are highways of
pleasantness and favor,
And all her paths are peace.
18
She is a tree of life to those
who take hold of her,
And happy [blessed, considered
fortunate, to be admired]
is everyone who holds her
tightly.
19
The Lord by His wisdom has
founded the earth;
By His understanding He has
established the heavens.
20
By His knowledge the deeps
were broken up
And the clouds drip with dew.
21
My son, let them not escape
from your sight,
But keep sound wisdom and
discretion,
22
And they will be life to your
soul (your inner self)
And a gracious adornment to
your neck (your outer self).
23
Then you will walk on your way
[of life] securely
And your foot will not
stumble.
24
When you lie down, you will
not be afraid;
When you lie down, your sleep
will be sweet.
25
Do not be afraid of sudden
fear
Nor of the storm of the wicked
when it comes [since you
will be blameless];
26
For the Lord will be your
confidence, firm and strong,
And will keep your foot from
being caught [in a trap].
27
Do not
withhold good from those to
whom
it is due [its rightful
recipients],
When it is in your power to do
it.
28
Do not say to your neighbor,
“Go, and come back,
And tomorrow I will give it,”
When you have it with you.
29
Do not devise evil against
your neighbor,
Who lives securely beside you.
30
Do not quarrel with a man
without cause,
If he has done you no harm.
31
Do not envy a man of violence
And do not choose any of his
ways.
32
For the devious are repulsive
to the Lord;
But His private counsel is
with the upright [those with
spiritual integrity and moral
courage].
33
The curse of the Lord is on
the house of the wicked,
But He blesses the home of the
just and righteous.
34
Though He scoffs at the
scoffers and scorns the
scorners,
Yet He gives His grace [His
undeserved favor] to the
humble [those who give up
self-importance].
35
The wise will inherit honor
and glory,
But dishonor and shame is
conferred on fools.
