—Proverbs 3:1-12
by: Richard Crouch.
The best times in my life have been when I listened to God and sought to do his will. This passage explains what I’ve experienced. If you put complete trust in God, you’ll feel better, you’ll be more successful, and you won’t get lost along the way.
My kids don’t like to be punished, but they disobey me anyway. They lean on their own understanding and get spanked or put in time-out. Over their cries of how miserable their lives are, I try to explain to them how much better their lives would be if they just listened to me. When God has me turned over his knee with a wooden spoon in his hand, he tells me the same thing.
