PROVERBS THREE….
When a young lady has the wisdom of the Lord, and is not fearful of the future, then she can be generous to her neighbours and show this confidence by her actions.
We are told in this passage to make no plots, to not strive (argue) with others for no reason and to not envy those who leave God out of their lives. The end result for unbelievers, successful or not, is not good….. God will turn away from them for all eternity. Those who humble themselves to walk with God here and now, will have His grace and glory for ever.
David has already given us this advice when he says not to fret or be envious of successful, ruthless men. Their success is very brief, whereas those who trust in God have all His blessings for ever. The advice he gives is positive…..don’t fret, but trust; delight, commit and rest in the Lord who will give immeasurable riches, all spiritual blessings and God’s delightful peace. What more does a girl need to be fulfilled in this life and in the one to come?!!
God’s wisdom gives peace, and positive rest, To His people He only bestows His best; If we fret and strive, like others to be, God’s wonderful blessings, we’ll never once see.
