Proverbs 3:11 (VOICE) My son, do not ignore the Eternal’s instruction or lose heart when He steps in to correct you;
Beloved, be intentional to keep your heart tender, and be open to truth – even when it challenges you. For My Spirit is with you to guide and correct you, so be open to the flow. I’m never cruel to My children, nor do I do things to frustrate them. So in the moments you hear correction, know it comes from a heart of love.
Refuse to be like Adam and Eve who chose to hide themselves from Me – naked and ashamed – rather than face Me and allow Me to bring them back into alignment. Trust that when I give correction, it is for your good and because I love you too much to let you harm yourself wandering off track. So listen and receive, then implement the instructions you are given.
Proverbs 3:9-12 (VOICE) Pay tribute to the Eternal in all of your affairs. Honor Him with the best of what you make. That way you will prosper to the fullest and have plenty of food to eat and wine to drink. My son, do not ignore the Eternal’s instruction or lose heart when He steps in to correct you; Because the Eternal proves His love by caring enough to discipline you, just as a father does his child, his pride and joy.
