“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths’ (Proverbs 3:5, 6). The command is threefold. First, dependence. ‘Trust in the Lord with all thine heart.’ This is complete dependence upon God. It is faith in God’s Word and God’s wisdom and God’s ways. Second, deference. ‘Lean not unto thine own understanding.’ There must be deference to God’s ways and word and wisdom. He knows best. Third, devotion. ‘In all thy ways acknowledge him.’ In everything we do, we must consider the Lord and His desires.” (Page 24)
“‘Fear of the Lord … beginning of knowledge.’ This is the fundamental basis in all the teaching. This book is to honor God. Following its instructions will help you behave in a godly way.” (Page 11)
“The key to avoiding this evil problem is separation from evil.” (Page 12)
“First, people. ‘Walk not thou … with them.’ Evil companions will lead you to evil conduct. You will waste and ruin your life if you keep bad company. Second, paths. ‘Refrain thy foot from their path.’ The path involves practices and philosophies of evil. Walk in such a path and you will soon be polluted.” (Page 13)
“When the fool repents and turns to the ways of wisdom (God’s ways), the promise will be one of endowment (‘spirit’) which will help you obtain wisdom, and enlightenment (‘make known my words unto you’) which will give you wisdom.” (Page 14)
