19 The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding he established the heavens;
Wisdom is so important that the world was founded by it.
20 by his knowledge the deeps broke open, and the clouds drop down the dew.
21 My son, do not lose sight of these- keep sound wisdom and discretion,
22 and they will be life for your soul and adornment for your neck.
23 Then you will walk on your way securely, and your foot will not stumble.
24 If you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
I like this verse, especially before bed.
25 Do not be afraid of sudden terror or of the ruin of the wicked, when it comes,
Who can we fear with God on our side?
26 for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught.
27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it.
That's good advice, but we don't have to only give good to those to whom it is due, we should give good to anyone when it is in our power.
28 Do not say to your neighbor, "Go, and come again, tomorrow I will give it"-when you have it with you.
I think this verse also speaks about procrastinating.
29 Do not plan evil against your neighbor, who dwells trustingly beside you.
Just don't.
30 Do not contend with a man for no reason, when he has done you no harm.
Why would you do that?
31 Do not envy a man of violence and do not choose any of his ways,
Or that?
32 for the devious person is an abomination to the LORD, but the upright are in his confidence.
Definitely better to be upright.
33 The LORD's curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the dwelling of the righteous.
34 Toward the scorners he is scornful, but to the humble he gives favor.
35 The wise will inherit honor, but fools get disgrace. - Proverbs 3:19-35
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you so much for your many blessings, thank especially that my dad is healing well, please continue to grant him healing.
