God's plan

In the 80's there was a show called the A-Team.  There was a guy on there called Hannibal and in pro-wrestling terms Hannibal had a catch phrase.  "I love it when a plan comes together."  In Proverbs 3:1-12 Solomon gives us a plan.  It's a plan that gets your attention and can change your life.  It's satisfying, will bring you favor with God and people, reputable, prone to give on many years.  It will also give you healing for your bones.  Look at this plan with me.  

1My child,a never forget the things I have taught you.
Store my commands in your heart.
2If you do this, you will live many years,
and your life will be satisfying.
3Never let loyalty and kindness leave you!
Tie them around your neck as a reminder.
Write them deep within your heart.
4Then you will find favor with both God and people,
and you will earn a good reputation.
5Trust in the LORD with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
6Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take.
7Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom.
Instead, fear the LORD and turn away from evil.
8Then you will have healing for your body
and strength for your bones.
9Honor the LORD with your wealth
and with the best part of everything you produce.
10Then he will fill your barns with grain,
and your vats will overflow with good wine.
11My child, don’t reject the LORD’s discipline,
and don’t be upset when he corrects you.
12For the LORD corrects those he loves,
just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights.


There's another quote from Battlestar Galactica that should be our response to God after reading this and that would be "By your Command."
