    Spiritual and physical health and vitality are up to you. They are based on the choice of the previous proverb (Pr 3:7). You can have God’s blessings on body and spirit by rejecting your own ideas, fearing the Lord, and turning from sin. This important choice is the primary lesson of Proverbs – obtaining God’s best for your life by choosing His wisdom. If you neglect or reject His offer, you are committing certain suicide (Pr 8:36).The pronoun “it” refers precisely to what went before (Pr 3:7). Solomon wrote, “Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.” The combined choice of rejecting self-confidence, reverently trusting and obeying God, and hating sin is the condition for these promised blessings. Each phrase of the condition contains an imperative verb, indicating clearly that it requires your action. What holds you back?Navel and bones are synecdoche for your body. The Oxford English Dictionary defines synecdoche, “A figure by which a more comprehensive term is used for a less comprehensive or vice versa; as whole for part or part for whole; genus for species or species for genus, etc.” Navel and bones, bodily parts, are substituted for the whole body. Compare, “Count heads,” “All hands on deck,” or “Nice wheels.” All are synecdoche.You depended entirely on your navel for nine months, when vital nourishment passed to you from your mother through the umbilical cord. And the vitality of your bones continues to depend on nourishment from your marrow (Job 21:24). These figures of speech describe the blessing and prosperity from fully following the Lord. A good and happy life is dependent on submission and obedience to the will of God (Pr 4:22; 14:30).An exercise regimen or diet protocol can only marginally help the vitality of your life. A wise man knows that God’s blessing on humble obedience exceeds any such natural efforts to extend or improve life (Pr 3:2,18; 4:10,22; 7:23; 9:11; 11:19; 12:28; 14:27,30; 17:22; 19:23). Obedience saves from natural consequences of sin, magisterial judgment, and the punishment of God. It further activates God’s precious promises (I Pet 3:10-12).Will you reject your own wisdom (Pr 3:7)? You were born with none, and you have none by natural education. You entered this world and will leave it with the helplessness of an infant. Truth and wisdom are the property of Jehovah, and only He gives them. Self-confidence is the certain route to destruction (Pr 14:12; 26:12; I Cor 3:18-20). Your thoughts and feelings are deceitful delusions (Ps 94:11; Jer 17:9), so despise both.Will you fear the Lord (Pr 3:7)? It is necessary for knowledge and wisdom (Pr 1:7; 9:10), and it is the whole duty of man (Eccl 12:13-14). Reverent awe and submission to Jehovah is the basis for the blessings of God upon all you have and do (Ps 112:1-3; 128:1-6). The fear of God will also create joy in your heart and matter for your mind like nothing else.Will you depart from evil (Pr 3:7)? The fear of God is to hate and reject any sin (Pr 8:13; 16:6; Job 1:1; 28:28). Do you esteem all His precepts concerning all things to be right, and do you hate every false way (Ps 119:128)? Sin will destroy you early (Eccl 7:17). Get away from sin like Joseph did and Samson did not. Compare the different consequences.Reader, neglect this proverb to your own peril. Arrogance and sin will dry you up from the inside out (Pr 1:31; 5:11; 12:4; 15:13; 17:22; 18:14; 27:4). Your only hope for life and light in this sin-cursed world is the fear of the Lord. Humble yourself now. Reject your foolish thoughts. Call upon Him for mercy. Turn from all your sins. Perhaps He will lengthen your tranquility, which proud King Nebuchadnezzar lost (Dan 4:27).https://letgodbetrue.com/proverbs/index/chapter-3/proverbs-3-8/

    God loves His sons, and Solomon loved his son. A great danger facing men is fornication and adultery, which is warned about often in Proverbs. Both God and Solomon warn against immoral women, who increase this sin among men (Pr 23:28). Learn the warning.Let every father and son take heed, for here is a warning of great importance to the safety of your soul. Noble readers will let the wisdom and knowledge of Proverbs enter into their hearts and be pleasant unto their souls (Pr 2:10), for then discretion and understanding can save them from the strange woman (Pr 2:11). Avoid this sin.What is a strange woman? She is any woman you have not married, so you have no right to any romantic or sexual pleasure with her. She does not belong to you. More specifically, she is a whorish woman, who entices men to commit fornication with her.In the Bible, Jephthah’s brothers despised him as the son of a strange woman, for his mother was a prostitute (Judges 11:1-2). Their own mother was their father’s wife, but his mother a whore. Therefore, Jephthah was a bastard and not a full, legitimate son.A strange woman is a stranger, for she belongs to another man. Christians are strangers in the earth, because this is not their home; their home is heaven. A strange woman is an evil woman straying from her home and seducing men other than her husband for sex.You will meet with this warning again, as it is a great temptation for men, especially young men (Pr 6:24; 7:5). No man can play with this temptation, for many strong men have been slain by her (Pr 7:26). Samson was powerless before Delilah (Judges 16:4-21), so that he told her all his heart, even though he knew she was out to destroy him.Determine in your heart beforehand to avoid this woman, for she is waiting to cause you to sin (Pr 23:26-28). She does not always seek wicked and profane men, for she may seek those with virtuous souls (Pr 6:26). So you can see Potiphar’s wife enticing noble Joseph, who firmly rejected her advances with a soul committed to God (Gen 39:7-12).You could meet her today. Men work with wives of other men more than ever, and those women are sexually looser than ever. What can a man do? He must commit his soul to God in all sexual matters, and he must avoid forward or friendly women. The flattering attention of a woman is too powerful to allow, for it will lead to destruction (Pr 7:21-23).Do not lust after a woman’s beauty or enjoy her eyes (Pr 6:25). Reject and flee from her words of praise and flattery (Pr 6:24). Do not think about her in your heart (Job 31:1). Stay away from her presence with great care (Pr 4:15). Flee youthful lusts (II Tim 2:22).Flattery is kind and friendly speech to win your attention. It is not sincere and virtuous, for the intentions are not noble or righteous. A woman’s praise can overpower a man, so avoid it and disregard it (Pr 5:3; 7:21). Do not chat, call, text, or email such women, unless necessary, for she cannot flatter you, if you do not communicate with her.Of course, she will not say her goal is sin. Instead she will praise you, commend herself, describe creative lovemaking and great affection, and say she wants to give you much love (Pr 7:13-18). Hate her words! Run from them! Reject them! She lies! Though she seems delightful and pleasant, her end is bitter and painful (Pr 2:18-19; 5:5; 7:27; 9:18).Solomon wrote much of Proverbs to protect his son from strange women. Wisdom, knowledge, discretion, and understanding will keep you from her (Pr 2:10-11). Know and understand that God has condemned all adulterers and whoremongers (Heb 13:4), and the consequences of adultery are terrible and long lasting (Pr 6:26-35). It is a man’s wisdom and discretion to minimize social interaction with any woman but his own wife.

    Lady Wisdom wants to help you. She offers knowledge and understanding day after day to all men. She will not always be available. If you reject her long enough, she will ignore you when you are in trouble. Make sure you accept and obey her gracious offer today.Why do you keep hurting yourself? When will you finally tire of pain? What will it take to make you try a different approach to life? Why do you listen to fools calling (Pr 1:10-19)? You must love death, because you make your choices in that direction (Pr 8:32-36).Lady Wisdom offers a happy and successful life to you. This glorious woman cries for your attention and affection. She is near you now. Can you hear her in the streets? She asks for you. This lady is Solomon’s powerful personification of wisdom as a woman.Lady Wisdom wants your attention. She will give you wisdom, which leads to the best possible life in this world and the next. All you have to do is take her offer. How does she state her offer? “How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you” (Pr 1:22-23).Most people suffer some sort of pain and trouble, year after year, generation after generation. They must love fear, grief, dysfunction, and destruction, because they never change. Parents divorce; the children say they will never divorce; the children end up divorced. A father commits adultery; his son vows he will never do such a thing; he commits adultery. Sin and suffering are endlessly perpetuated from one fool to the next.A grandfather is a drunkard; his children, grandchildren, and nephews swear they will never abuse alcohol; but several end up being drunkards like the grandfather. A foolish rebel argues and fights with his parents, finally being thrown out to fend for himself. He fights at school; he fights in the military; he fights with employees and employers. His wife leaves him; his children hate him; but he fights on to the very last breath.A little Hindu girl wonders why a million gods do nothing, why the neighbor’s cow is uncle Rahul, why her religion once encouraged widows to burn themselves to death at their husband’s funeral, why her nation worships the filthy Ganges, why she could be burned to death if her family does not pay a big dowry to the groom’s family, and why nations and people worshipping Jesus Christ are free from such terrible superstitions and live prosperously. Yet she grows up to be a big Hindu and teaches it to her daughters.A little American girl wonders why there are so many churches and why both pledge and money mention God, when her schools deny Jesus Christ, the Bible, and prayer; why laws protect Pit Bulls but kill unborn children, why she must study hard but the nation supports a welfare class of “disabled,” why two men or two women marry but nature denies reproduction, why she must pay back her school debt but the government does not pay back theirs, and why many of her classmates are on prescription drugs for life. Yet she sends her daughters to the same schools and does not attend any of the churches.The Creator God offers wisdom through the heavens He created (Ps 19:1-6), through the Bible He wrote (Ps 19:7-11), and through gospel preachers He sends to teach the Bible (Jer 3:15; Col 1:28-29; II Tim 3:16-17). Hear the proverb again: “Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets” (Pr 1:20). But even Christians today have turned away from sound doctrine that brings wisdom for fables and entertainment (II Tim 4:3-4).
