BE ADORNED WITH THE ORNAMENTS OF MERCY AND GRACE

Scripture Reading: Proverbs 3: 3-4

"Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man."

Mercy and truth are very precious attributes which the Lord wants His children to possess. He is a merciful Father and He is Truth. And if we are His children we should be in His likeness and image.

Jesus could say that He was the truth because He lived according to the Proverbs. There never was a flaw in His conduct or His life.

He said that He was the Light of the World (John 8:12, 9:5). He also said that we are the Light of the World (Matthew 5:14).

THE PERSON WHO DOES KIND DEEDS WILL BE REWARDED

Scripture REading: Proverb 3:1-2

"My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee." (Proverbs 3:1-2)

"My son!" These words are spoken over and over in the book of Proverbs. I call out to "My Son."

I have poured out My soul to My sons throughout the ages, showing them the path of light, truth and righteousness, and warning them of the paths that lead to destruction.

In these two verses I reveal the blessings which obedience will bring to the life of the one who is observant to My Word.

Never leave the pathway of equity, for that is the true way of righteousness

Scripture Reading: Proverbs 2:9-10

"Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.  When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul." (Proverbs 2:9-10)

It is only as you walk in paths of righteousness that you are protected from evil.  When you leave the path of righteousness your soul is immediately in peril, for any other path will lead to destruction and eternal damnation -- no matter how pleasant and right it appears to be.

But if you stay on the "hedged in" pathway you shall understand righteousness.  You shall know what is right and what is wrong. You shall have discernment to give a true and correct verdict.  You shall be able to judge every situation and every word that is taught by man.  

And you shall surely conduct your own life in equity and be straight and honest in all your dealings with yourself, with others and with Me.
