teaching,
But keep my commands in
your heart,
for they will prolong your life
many years
and bring you prosperity.
Let love and faithfulness never
leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your
heart.
Then you will find favor and a
good name
in the sight of God and man.
heart
and lean not on your own
understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge
Him,
and He will make your paths
straight.
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.
It’s early morning, one of the most gentle times of the day. Outside my window I can hear a morning dove singing her song. It’s such a soft song. I need it.
