Thank you for letting me/us know you may be away...because I love you I would be wondering where you were! I pray for you all daily, by God's great grace in Jesus Christ to this sinner.

Your Proverb 21:3 reminds me of Samuel's word from the Lord to Saul (1 Samuel 15:22-26):

But Samuel replied:
"Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams. For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has rejected you as king."
Then Saul said to Samuel, "I have sinned. I violated the LORD's command and your instructions. I was afraid of the people and so I gave in to them. Now I beg you, forgive my sin and come back with me, so that I may worship the LORD."
But Samuel said to him, "I will not go back with you. You have rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD has rejected you as king over Israel!"

Jesus answered, It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.' Matthew 4:4

Truly, your post speaks to the heart of Chambers' message for this day. And God's Word to Saul speaks to many situations and lives of men. Heeding the Word is True Wisdom, for it is real food unto Life Eternal, amen, thank You, Jesus.

For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God,
but the doers of the law who will be justified.
Romans 2:13
"If you love me, you will obey what I command. He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”
John 14:15 & 21

As You have said, Master, Your commands are not burdensome; they are my blessing, O Hallelujah!

Many thanks to you, Vision, and praise to God for your witness!
