This one thing I do, forgetting the past and reaching for those things which are before, I press towards the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus..PHILIPPIANS 3:13, 14.

My DearChild,

Proverbs 3:1-15 Living Bible (TLB)
My dear child,

Never forget the things I’ve taught you.[1]  If you want a long and satisfying life,[2] closely follow my instructions.[3] Never tire of loyalty and kindness.[4] Hold these virtues tightly. Write them deep within your heart.[5] If you want favor with both God and man, and a reputation for good judgment and common sense, then trust the Lord completely; don’t ever trust yourself.[6] In everything you do, put God first, and He will direct you and crown your efforts with success.[7]

Don’t be conceited, sure of your own wisdom.[8] Instead, trust and reverence the Lord, and turn your back on evil; when you do that, then you will be given renewed health and vitality.[9]

Honor the Lord by giving Him the first part of all your income, and He will fill your barns with wheat and barley and overflow your wine vats with the finest wines.[10]

Young man, do not resent it when God chastens and corrects you, for His punishment is proof of His love. Just as a father punishes a son he delights in to make him better, so the Lord corrects you.[11]

The man who knows right from wrong and has good judgment and common sense is happier than the man who is immensely rich! For such wisdom is far more valuable than precious jewels. Nothing else compares with it.[12]
. . .
Read and meditate upon the entire letter, found in Proverbs chapter 3. In a nutshell, it promises that God will give us wisdom and details what wisdom acts like. It finishes with the assurance that “The wise shall inherit Glory.” PROVERBS 3:35.

    a happy wife, mother, grandmother, homemaker and educator. I take the motto, "Life is Forwardmoving," Which is my version of  "I press towards the mark..." Philippians 3:13-14. And that "mark." of course, is an eternity with our loving Savior, Jesus Christ! It's promised and I can't wait!
