Proverbs 10

“The fear of the LORD adds length to life…”

“The prospect of the righteous is joy…”

“The way of the LORD is a refuge for the blameless…”

“The righteous will never be uprooted…”

“From the mouth of the righteous comes the fruit of wisdom…”

“The lips of the righteous know what finds favor…”

(Proverbs 10:27-32 partial)

Lord, what wonderful things are in store for those who are held righteous in your eyes.  How gracious you are to those who trust in you.  As much as I might try, it is your graciousness that is given with certianty because of who you are, not because of what I might do.

How much is revealed and given to those who have a reverent respect for you.  You are a refuge, a firm footing that cannot be moved, the source of all goodness and understanding, the source of all joy, the certianty of life.

All good things are from you, Lord God.  In you shal I place my trust.  May I have confidence in one thing and one thing only; the Lord my God.
