My son

¹ My son, do not forget my teaching,
but keep my commands in your heart,

² for they will prolong your life many years
and bring you prosperity.

³ Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.

⁴ Then you will win favor and a good name
in the sight of God and man.

⁵ Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;

⁶ in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.

⁷ Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the LORD and shun evil.

⁸ This will bring health to your body
and nourishment to your bones.

⁹ Honor the LORD with your wealth,
with the firstfruits of all your crops;

¹⁰ then your barns will be filled to overflowing,
and your vats will brim over with new wine.

¹¹ My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline
and do not resent his rebuke,

¹² because the LORD disciplines those he loves,
as a father the son he delights in.

¹³ Blessed is the man who finds wisdom,
the man who gains understanding,

Proverbs 3

That's copied from biblegateway.com.

I don't have a lot to say other than this seems like a pretty clear description of how to live a life honored by God. I really appreciate the way that it starts with the words "My son". I absolutely respect some fatherly advice and take it whenever I can get it. It's pretty incredible to think of the Creator of the Heavens and the earth as a father.

Today, I experienced a really cool moment. I'm on choir tour and my choir got to sing with a youth choir at a Methodist church in Atlanta and it brought me back to high school singing in church choir. We sang not because we all had the intention of having a music career but we sang to praise God and we sang because we LOVED it. Sometimes I forget that I love this. Most times, I forget the meaning of these songs and forget to thank the One who gave me the voice to sing them. Thank You Father God.

Thanks for reading!

Soon,

Bobby
