Wisdom within our hearts

Proverbs Chapter 3: Advice to the Young

In Proverbs 3:1-35, King Solomon is imparting wisdom to his son. He is teaching his son in order to have a long and prosperous life. He is always reminding his son to place his teachings in his mind and heart so that he will never forget those. He teaches him that he should not rely on everything that he knows but trust in the Lord with all his heart. God will always guide us in the right way. Obeying the Lord will lead us to the proper path of life. God’s gift of wisdom will give us a prosperous life.

We are reminded that we must always follow God’s laws. He wants to tell us that when we sin against Him, our hearts, not our mind, forget God’s laws. He reminds us that forgetfulness of God’s law is the fault of the heart and not merely of the head. Then we are also reminded that the truth shall always prevail. In our daily lives, we are reminded that we should always dwell in the truth, for doing otherwise is part of the devil’s plan. He also mentions that we must always believe in God. In our everyday lives, we must always know that everything that happens is part of God’s plan, and he always wants the best for His children. In this chapter, the Lord emphasizes very well many things. First, He reminded us that when we sin against Him, we sinned because we do not truly put His words into our heart.  He also mentions that wisdom is very important in our lives. He motivates us to truly become wise and to think whether our actions are good or bad. He also says in this chapter that we must always remember the truth and to follow it whatever happens. He wants us to trust Him whatever happens. It is because he knows what the need of every person is.

            We could also relate this proverb to our everyday life. Like King Solomon, our parents are also reminding and teaching us their children on how to live life to the fullest and not forgetting God as the first in our lives. Sometimes, we children misunderstand our parents on what they are pointing out whenever they are scolding or teaching us lessons. Parents don’t want to place their children in harm or danger. All that they do for us is for our betterment in life. They want all the best for us. We could never be fully healthy, both inside and out, without placing God first in our lives. He is the reason who we are and why we are here right now. Our parents also want us to be God-fearing regardless of our religion. Those who fear Him will be accepted in heaven. Those people who obey God’s commands will be blessed with many graces in life.

We experience different kinds of event in our lives. With that, God blesses us with the gifts of the Holy Spirit. One of those is Wisdom. We should use our experience and knowledge in life in order to make sensible decisions or judgments. With God’s grace, we could make decisions that would make our life and those of other people prosper. Letting God come into our life could make us live the way he wants us to. God only wants us to trust in Him and to do everything according to His will. It is said that actions are for people and sympathy is for God. If we follow God’s will, then everything will follow.
