Chapter 3 is a power-packed essential part of Proverbs.  It contains the pin number for wisdom.

Wisdom only works when you trust God more than you trust yourself.

What I find most amazing is that God would have to convince us that trusting him is a good idea.  That just goes to show you how arrogant we as humans can be.  We (the finite, the creation) have the audacity to doubt God (the infinite, the creator, the sustainer).

In this Chapter offers to give us everything we could every want, from wealth to wellness.  But there are conditions.

We must do 3 things.

1. Trust God with ALL our hearts.  2. Turn from evil.  3. Accept his discipline and correction.

I know you’re ready to accept his gifts, but are you ready to accept his love in the form of discipline and correction?

Below are more notes on this chapter.  The bottom line is simple: TRUST GOD.
