Proverbs - Trust the Lord


 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good,....
That frames and composes his discourse well on any subject he takes in hand; or manages his affairs prudently and discreetly, in which he is concerned; or that wisely attends to the affair of humility, as Aben Ezra: or rather to the word, that is, to the word of God; is not a careless, negligent, unconcerned hearer of the word, but a diligent and attentive one; whose heart is opened by the Spirit of God to attend to what is spoken in it; who lays it up in his heart, and makes it the rule of his conduct in life: such a man finds good things; things which are for his profit, edification, and instruction; good truths, good doctrines, good counsel and advice, good directions and instructions; promises of good things, things for his present comfort and future happiness;

and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he
not to his own wisdom; 
nor in his own strength;
 nor in his riches, 
nor righteousness;
nor in the favour of men,
 no, not of princes; 
but in the Lord and in his Word ; 
he shall want no good thing,
he is kept in perfect peace;
 he is in the utmost safety,
 is like Mount Zion, that can never be removed, Jer 17:7.

 from John Gill's exposition of the Entire Bible
