19 By wisdom the Lord laid the earth’s foundations,
by understanding he set the heavens in place;
20 by his knowledge the watery depths were divided,
and the clouds let drop the dew.
New International Version (NIV)
PCDC Commentary
The Lord created
the heavens and the earth,
the oceans and clouds.
He invites you to seek out the same wisdom,
and more.
13 Blessed are those who find wisdom,
those who gain understanding,
14 for she is more profitable than silver
and yields better returns than gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies;
nothing you desire can compare with her.
16 Long life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are riches and honor.
17 Her ways are pleasant ways,
and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her;
those who hold her fast will be blessed.

11 My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline,
and do not resent his rebuke,
12 because the Lord disciplines those he loves,
as a father the son he delights in.
PCDC Commentary
Embrace the discipline of the Lord.
Just as a father disciplines his favorite child,
the Lord disciplines those he loves.
Fear The Lord And Shun Evil
Proverbs 3:7-8
7
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord and shun evil.
8
This will bring health to your body
and nourishment to your bones.
PCdc Commentary
Just as Wonder Bread helps build strong bodies 12 ways,
Fearing God and avoiding evil improves your physical health.
Works wonders for your spiritual health, too;
And the health of your family.
