Proverbs - Don't Think You are Right

Proverbs 3:7-8

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.



                    Again we are told not to be wise in our own eyes so we can be reasonably sure that we tend to think we are right and must humble ourselves in the presence of the One who has all wisdom.  The fear of the Lord will help keep us humble in mind.  When we know that He alone has the perfect answers we will be less likely to exalt our own understanding and seek Him all the more.  It will result in our frame being strong and unlike osteoporosis which deteriorates the very structure of our being, we will be able stand against the evil one, get up from falls without serious spiritual injury and be able to support others as well.
