“Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones.” Proverbs 3:7-8
We often feel that we know better than the LORD God and His Word. However, the Scriptures admonish us not to be wise in our own eyes, but rather to fear and respect the LORD God, listen to His Word, repent of the sin and evil in our lives, and seek God’s forgiveness through Jesus Christ’s innocent suffering and death in our stead. That will bring health to our bodies and strength to our bones.
O LORD God, Your Word is right, and I am wrong when I go my own way. Pardon my sin for the sake of Christ Jesus and His sacrifice on the cross, and lead me to walk in accordance with Your holy Word. Amen.
