2. Proverbs 3:1-6 (KJV) 1 My son, forget not My law;
but let thine heart keep My commandments: 2 For
length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they
add to thee. 3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee:
bind them about thy neck; write them upon the
table of thine heart: 4 So shalt thou find favor and
good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean
not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways
acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.

3. 7-8 Benot wise in thine own eyes: fear the
LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to
thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
Everybody wants to be healthy and refreshed.
And people try everything but this Scripture.
Come home worn out.

4. God says that if we want to be healthy and
refreshed, “Fear the Lord and depart from evil.”
Don’t think you are smarter than God –
“Be not wise in your own eyes.”
There is nothing wrong with a good vacation
that we can afford.
There’s nothing wrong with vitamins,
if you can afford them and want them.
Just don’t expect it to give you the good life.

5. Sincere and willing Christian living is the answer
to a healthy and refreshed lifestyle.
Stability
Get a good
job, and do it 5

6. “Be not wise in thine own eyes.”
Intelligence does not equal Wisdom.
You can’t figger out how to be happy and healthy.
You can’t find rest to your own soul.
Only in walking with Jesus according to His
Word will we ever find rest to our souls.

7. (Jesus said) Matthew 11 28-30 Come unto Me, all
ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give
you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of
Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall
find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and
My burden is light.
Physical rest and soul rest are
two different things.
A soul at rest will find physical rest and sleep
to be better than you ever thought.

8. 9-10 Honor the LORD with
thy substance, and with the
first-fruits of all thine
increase: So shall thy barns
be filled with plenty, and
thy presses shall burst out
with new wine.
We give the first 10% back to the Lord in
acknowledgment that all we have is from Him.
We sometimes think that we can’t afford to
give, but the Truth is that we can’t afford not to
give. 8

9. Malachi 3 10 Bring ye all the tithes into the
storehouse, that there may be meat in Mine
house, and prove Me now herewith, saith the
LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows
of Heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there
shall not be room enough to receive it. 11 And I will
rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall
not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall
your vine cast her fruit before the time in the
field, saith the LORD of hosts.

10. Daddy taught me to tithe when I was a small child.
If I received a dollar, I gave a dime to the Lord.
That was an absolute in our home.
Daddy and Mama did it, and taught us to do it.
Tithing is thanksgiving.
It brings God’s blessings.
And He rebukes the devourer.

11. 11-12 My son, despise not the chastening
(reproof, instruction, restraint) of the LORD;
neither be weary of His correction: For whom the
LORD loveth He correcteth; even as a father the
son in whom he delighteth.
We should be grateful when the Lord corrects
us; it shows us that He loves us.
If He didn’t love us, He would let us go on in
our own ways unto damnation.
11

12. A loving parent tends to correct the child more and
more strongly, for whom he has the most hope.
God knows perfectly our
potential, because He put it within
us. to help us reach
He loves us enough
our full potential.
