'Fear the LORD and depart from evil'

Posted

“Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and depart from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and strength to your bones.” Proverbs 3:7-8

We often feel we know better than the LORD God and His Word. But 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 in Jesus Christ’s innocent sufferings and death in our stead. That will bring health to our bodies and strength to our bones.

O LORD God, Your Word is right; I am wrong. Pardon my sin for the sake of Christ Jesus and His sacrifice on the cross, and lead me to walk according to Your holy Word. Amen.
