WISDOM
Sometimes we struggle in so many ways to have a long life, and have peace and prosperity along with it. But according to Proverbs 3, we only need to remember God’s teachings, and keep his commands in our hearts. By keeping his commands, it means we have to yield and obey, and trust God when things don't go according to what we wish for.
Mother Teresa is a well-known lady who worked in Calcutta and whose life has blessed many people who were poor, lonely, and abandoned. Her love and compassion and faithfulness were famous in her era, and she has been a source of inspiration to many, from politicians to artists to clergy. She has what Proverbs 3:3 commands us to have. Love and faithfulness are important character qualities. They are both actions as well as attitudes. What Solomon wrote here is also emphasized again by Jesus is his teachings about a thousand years later. When we are full of love and are faithful, we will have a wonderful relationship with God and have no problems socially
