A Successful Life
Proverbs 1:7
7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge;
fools despise wisdom and instruction.Proverbs 19:21
21 Many are the plans in the mind of a man,
but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand.Proverbs 14:26–27
26 In the fear of the LORD one has strong confidence,
and his children will have a refuge.
27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life,
that one may turn away from the snares of death.Proverbs 30:5–9
5 Every word of God proves true;
he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
6 Do not add to his words,
lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar.
7 Two things I ask of you;
deny them not to me before I die:
8 Remove far from me falsehood and lying;
give me neither poverty nor riches;
feed me with the food that is needful for me,
9 lest I be full and deny you
and say, “Who is the LORD?”
or lest I be poor and steal
and profane the name of my God.Proverbs 15:3
3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place,
keeping watch on the evil and the good.Proverbs 16:2
2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes,
but the LORD weighs the spirit.Proverbs 20:9
9 Who can say, “I have made my heart pure;
I am clean from my sin”?Proverbs 29:25
25 The fear of man lays a snare,
but whoever trusts in the LORD is safe.The Holy Bible, English Standard Version copyright (c)2001 by Crossway Bibles, a division of Good News Publishers. Used by permission. All rights reserved. http://www.esv.org
