Trust God

Proverbs 3 My child, remember my teachings and instructions

and obey them completely.

³Let love and loyalty always show like a necklace,

and write them in your mind.

⁴God and people will like you and consider you a success.

⁵With all your heart you must trust the LORD

and not your own judgment.

⁶Always let him lead you,

and he will clear the road for you to follow.

⁷Don't ever think that you are wise enough,

but respect the LORD and stay away from evil.

⁸This will make you healthy, and you will feel strong.

⁹Honor the LORD by giving him your money

and the first part of all your crops.

¹⁰Then you will have more grain and grapes

than you will ever need.

¹¹My child, don't turn away or become bitter

when the LORD corrects you.

¹²The LORD corrects everyone he loves,

just as parents correct their favorite child.

nothing you want compares with her.

the source of happiness for all who hold on to her.
