There are a lot of really good things in today's proverb. The one that stood out the most to me was, "Trust the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your path." I think that this can be a difficult thing to do, but it is also something that we should be working hard at doing.

I like that verse too. I have highlighted that one before and it comes up in many things that I read. Definitely a good reminder to always turn to God for everything. There are many things in this proverb. Another that goes along with this one is verse 25-26, "Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the Lord will be at your side and will keep your foot from being snared." Another that stood out was vs 9, "Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the first fruits of your crops." When we were attending church services regularly, we tithed on a regular basis, but since we have been watching from home, I have found that this has stopped. Not intentionally, it just changed with the way things have gone the past year. It makes me think it's time to go back to church. It is open now and we can go, but there are things I like about watching at home too, but this changes our tithing practices. There are probably other ways to do it, I just haven't looked. I also often ask myself if I have to give to the church or if it can be done in other ways. Not that I don't want to give to the church, as our church does use it for alot of good things within the community and to help others, which is what we should be doing with it, but I wonder if we can give our tithes in other ways or to other organizations. I don't know the right way for this.
