My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments, for length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you. Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor and good success in the sight of God and man. 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 straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones. Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine. My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline or be weary of his reproof, for the Lord reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights. (Proverbs 3:1-12 ESV)
These verses show us that as we do what God says then He will do for us.
He is our Father and we must be obedient. What good and earthly father does not expect the same from his children? Should we expect anything less from Our Heavenly Father?
Keep the commandments and our days are lengthened. Sounds good to me.
We will have great success as we remain faithful and loving. Anything wrong with that?
Trust Him and acknowledge Him and our paths will be straight (secure). No brainer to me.
I think you got the idea of where our focus must be.
Do we look at the adversities or the Solver?
To me it is obvious and I hope it is to you too.
Shalom my friends,
Shifra
