I love the third chapter of Proverbs! There are some of the health benefits of wisdom with longevity, peace, success, and even good sleep! Verses 3-6 hold a special place in my heart as they are inscribed on my husband’s wedding ring.

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him and He will make your paths straight.

Perhaps because I was thinking of my husband…perhaps because I recently turned 30, but I was reminded of my husband’s longtime question of what Jesus did between that gap in his life of 12 in the temple to 30 when he started his ministry…especially since most of our memories so far have been in those formative years of 12 to 30 years old.

The answer: Luke 2:52

Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.

May this chapter also bless you!
