4-7 Application for Feb 25, 2024 :: Proverbs 3:11-12

==

My son, do not despise the LORD’s discipline or be weary of his reproof, for the LORD reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights.

Proverbs 3:11-12

===

If God didn’t love you, he wouldn’t care if you were on the right track.

He wouldn’t care if your choices were moving yourself further and further from Him.

So he brings things into your life, sometimes very hard things, to pull you back towards him.

This is one way we know He loves us.

Respond to that love.

Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the first fruits of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.

Proverbs 3:9-10

God promises to bless you if you honor the Lord with your wealth.

One way to do that is to pray to him these questions:

And …
How would you like to invest in the Gospel?

give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.

Which of these areas do you have the greatest sanctification opportunities – where you could grow the most?

  • Being open to Prophecies (while testing everything and holding fast to what is good)
  • Giving thanks in hard times.
  • Abstaining from evil.

Pray about it – think about it – trust God with it.

1 John 3:1-2
