NEARER MY GOD TO THEE

Therefore if any man be in Christ, 

he is a new creature: old things 

are passed away; behold, 

all things are become new.

II Corinthians 5:17

 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.  Be not 

wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, 

and depart from evil. It shall be health 

to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

Honour the LORD with thy substance, 

and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, 

and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

My son, despise not the chastening 

of the LORD; neither be weary of his 

correction:  For whom the LORD loveth he 

correcteth; even as a father the son in whom 

he delighteth.  Happy is the man that findeth 

wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

For the merchandise of it is better than the 

merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof 

than fine gold.  She is more precious than 

rubies: and all the things thou canst 

desire are not to be compared unto her.

Length of days is in her right hand; 

and in her left hand riches and honour.

Her ways are ways of pleasantness, 

and all her paths are peace.

She is a tree of life to them that lay hold 

upon her: and happy is every one that 

retaineth her.  The LORD by wisdom 

hath founded the earth; by understanding 

hath he established the heavens.  By his 

knowledge the depths are broken up, 

and the clouds drop down the dew.

My son, let not them depart from thine 

eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace 

to thy neck.  Then shalt thou walk in thy 

way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.

When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: 

yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

Proverbs 3:5-24
