Wisdom (Proverbs 3) – Part I

Emboldened by the Sustaining Source” by Meghan Williams of Dyed4you Art

This is part I in a series of Prophetic Nuggets from “Daily Downloads from Heaven” by Meghan Williams that are connected by scripture / theme and were birthed over an 18-month period. It is a set of Prophetic Nuggets based on Proverbs 3 (the Wisdom chapter) separated into six parts and 29 downloads. 

PART I is based on Proverbs 3:1-4 (VOICE):

“My son, always remember what I have taught you; keep my instructions dear to your heart. If you do, they will be your guide to a long, healthy, prosperous life. Stay focused; do not lose sight of mercy and truth; engrave them on a pendant, and hang it around your neck; meditate on them so they are written upon your heart. In this way, you will win the favor of God and others, and they will think well of you.”

The first Prophetic Nugget is called “Learn and Implement.”

Proverbs 3:1 (VOICE) My son, always remember what I have taught you; keep my instructions dear to your heart.

Beloved, one who is wise seeks knowledge and understanding. They listen when they are taught. But they do not only listen, they also learn. And then they implement what they have learned. For of what use is the understanding of something that is never applied? That kind of knowledge puffs up. It is of no true value.

Listen, and learn well. Then as you seek to understand, be intentional to apply it to yourself. For My Spirit is fully able to lead you to truth in the perfect timing I have for you. So walk in wisdom, and apply it with understanding.

The second Prophetic Nugget is called “Act with Care and Wisdom.”

Proverbs 3:2 (VOICE) If you do, they will be your guide to a long, healthy, prosperous life.

Beloved, My Word sustains you, for it brings forth life. If you would walk in blessing, it is wise to choose that which brings forth blessing. For you cannot sow one type of seed and then expect to bring forth another type of harvest. 

Be intentional to choose that which brings forth blessing, and to eschew things that which bring forth curses. For negative outcomes of bad choices are not a punishment from Me, they are simply consequences. So walk wisely. Act with care and wisdom that you might prosper and live a long and beautiful life.

The third Prophetic Nugget is called “Reflect My Love.”

Proverbs 3:3 (VOICE) Stay focused; do not lose sight of mercy and truth; engrave them on a pendant, and hang it around your neck; meditate on them so they are written upon your heart.

Beloved, the more you know, the easier it seems to be to slip into judgment. It is far too easy to think you know what is right and to assume you know best how another should act or what choices they should make.

I encourage you to be rich in mercy – to love one another, and be rich in compassion. Make that your focus rather than some self-congratulatory sense of “rightness” that feeds your pride. Cultivate mercy and be rich in understanding that you might reflect My love and live the true meaning of My Word.

The fourth Prophetic Nugget is called “A Person of Mercy and Compassion.”

Proverbs 3:4 (VOICE) In this way, you will win the favor of God and others, and they will think well of you.

Beloved, when you become known as a person of mercy and compassion, people are drawn to you. A person like that feels safe and trustworthy. A person like that reflects My love. Choose to be that kind of person.

As you seek to reflect Me, resist the urge to do so simply for the favor and blessing that accompany that kind of life. Rather do it because it’s the right thing to do. It’s right for mercy to triumph over judgment. It’s right for love to triumph over hate. So cloak yourself in character that mirrors Mine, and do so from a heart of love.
