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.

Proverbs 3:3-4

the subject for today is:

Love and faithfulness

Let us again open the Bible and read some from it

Today from: Proverbs 3:4

Proverbs 3:4

So you will find favor^4.1 and good understanding in the sight of God and man^4.2.

4.1) So you will find favor.

Or grace; the grace of God, and larger measures of it; as Noah did (Gen.6:8), which are communicated to men when in the way of their duty: or good will, esteem, and respect, among men; as Joseph had with Potiphar, and the keeper of the prison (Gen.39:4,21)

4.2) and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

As Christ, as man, had in the sight of both (Luk.2:52); that is, to be taken notice of, regarded, and approved by both.

Some render it "good success"; prosperity in things temporal and spiritual; (see Ps.111:10).

There is something lovely, and of good report, in a close attention to the doctrines and duties of religion; which make a man amiable in the sight of others, and which is followed with a blessing from the Lord.

Dear Friends,

Character is measured by the love and faithfulness we genuinely display in our daily lives. These are not simple virtues that we can fake. Merciful love is displayed when we have power over another but choose to treat them with kindness and genuine concern.

Faithfulness is being a person of truth - genuine and trustworthy in word and deed. These virtues need to be a part of our everyday lives and permeate our very identity. When they do, others will notice and God will be pleased.

PRAYER:

Holy God - faithful and compassionate, full of mercy and steadfast love - I praise you for your example of strength and mercy, holiness and compassion, love and faithfulness. Carve these character traits on my heart as I submit myself to your will and open my life to your Spirit's transformational power. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
