Trust in the Lord with all your heart,and do not rely on your own insight.

It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.

Honor the Lord with your substance and with the first fruits of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.

for the Lord reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights.
