the Results of Trusting Jehovah

Pro 3:1-12

How replete with helpful instruction on the policy of life is this paragraph! The young of both sexes are invited to be merciful in their judgments or dealings, and faithful in the discharge of their responsibilities or duties. These are two prime qualifications for a right attitude toward God and man.

The perplexed are bidden to distrust their own understanding and to trust in God for guidance. If you do not see your way, wait till God reveals it. Notice the repeated word all-all thine heart, all thy ways. A thread reaching from our person to the ground may impair our perfect insularity. The business man is urged to honor God, as Abraham did, when returning laden with booty from his conflict with the freebooting kings, Gen 14:23. The suffering are urged to look beyond their pain and sorrow to the hand that chastens, Pro 3:11-12. These precious words are endorsed by later Scriptures. See Heb 12:5-6 and Rev 3:19. We can never forget the tender assurance of Job 5:18-19. There is no chance in life; accept all as by God’s appointment or permission.
