Wise Cogitations - Proverbs 3

When reading Proverbs 3 the other day, it reminded me why it was one of my favourites.  It is full of really great wisdom and advice.

Some of the verses that I love from this chapter, that I think should be really pondered, are:

v3-4: Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart. So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

v5-6: Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understaing.  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

v7: Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

v11: My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: for whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

v27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
