Proverbs 3 · Grade 4

Paths Made Straight

Name Date

Read and Think

The father begins, My son, don't forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments. Don't let kindness and truth forsake you. Bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart. Then comes one of the best known verses in the Bible: Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

Trusting God shows in daily life. Honor Yahweh with your substance, with the first fruits of all your increase. My son, don't despise Yahweh's discipline, neither be weary of his correction; for whom Yahweh loves, he corrects, even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.

Wisdom is worth more than silver and fine gold. She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her. By wisdom Yahweh founded the earth. Wisdom also changes how we treat others: Don't withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it. Surely he mocks the mockers, but he gives grace to the humble.
