Proverbs 3:1-2 My son, do
not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will
prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity
Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it
Proverbs 3:3-4 Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name
in the sight of God and man.
Matthew 6:33 “But seek first His kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things
will be given to you as well.”
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own
understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths
straight.

No
matter how far off the path we are, God accepts us and will guide us back to
Him
Ephesians 4:1 “As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of
the calling you have received.”
Proverbs 3:7-10 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will
bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. Honor the Lord with
your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be
filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.
Mark 12:43-44 “Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, Truly I tell you, this poor
widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of
their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything- all she had to
live on.”
Proverbs 3:11-12 My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline, and do not resent his
rebuke, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he
delights in.
John 1:12 ““Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he
gave the right to become children of God—”
Proverbs 3:13-18 Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, for she
is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. She is more
precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in
her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are pleasant
ways, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who take hold
of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed.
1 Kings 4:30 Solomon’s wisdom was greater than the wisdom of all the people of the
East, and greater than all the wisdom of Egypt
2 Chronicles 1:11 God said to Solomon, since this is your heart’s desire and you have not
asked for wealth, possessions or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and
since you have not asked for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern
my people over whom I have made you king, therefore wisdom and knowledge will
be given you. And I will also give you wealth, possessions, honor, such as no
king who was before you ever had and none after you will have.
Proverbs 3:19-26 By wisdom the Lord laid the earth’s foundations, by understanding he set
the heavens in place; by his knowledge the watery depths were divided, and the
clouds let drop the dew. My son, do not let wisdom and understanding out of
your sight, preserve sound judgment and discretion; they will be life for you,
an ornament to grace your neck. Then you will go on your way in safety, and
your foot will not stumble. When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you
lie down, your sleep will be sweet. Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the
ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the Lord will be at your side and will keep
your foot from being snared.
Ephesians 4:17-24 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer
live as the Gentiles do , in the futility of their thinking. They are darkened
in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the
ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. That, however,
is not the way of life you learned when you heard about Christ and were taught
in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. You were taught, with
regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being
corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your
minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness
and holiness

We should not read the Bible just for knowledge,
but also for understanding of God’s Word.
Proverbs 3:27-35 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your
power to act. Do not say to your neighbor, “Come back tomorrow and I’ll give it
to you”— when you already have it with you. Do not plot harm against your
neighbor, who lives trustfully near you. Do not accuse anyone for no reason—
when they have done you no harm. Do not envy the violent or choose any of their
ways. For the Lord detests the perverse but takes the upright into his
confidence. The Lord’s curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the
home of the righteous. He mocks proud mockers but shows favor to the humble and
oppressed. The wise inherit honor, but fools get only shame.
