Proverbs 3:5-6
The Message (MSG) 5-12

Trust God from the bottom of your heart;
   don't try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
   he's the one who will keep you on track.
Don't assume that you know it all.
   Run to God! Run from evil!
Your body will glow with health,
   your very bones will vibrate with life!
Honor God with everything you own;
   give him the first and the best.
Your barns will burst,
   your wine vats will brim over.
But don't, dear friend, resent God's discipline;
   don't sulk under his loving correction.
It's the child he loves that God corrects;
   a father's delight is behind all this.

I trust You from the bottom of my heart;
  I won't try to figure out everything on my own.

I listen for Your voice in everything I do, everywhere I go;
   he's the one who will keep me on track.

I won't assume that I know it all.
   I will run to You! I will run from evil!
My body will glow with health,
   my very bones will vibrate with life!

I honor You with everything I own;
  I give You the first and the best.
My barns will burst,
   my wine vats will brim over.
But, dear friend, I don't resent Your discipline;
   I don't sulk under Your loving correction.
It's the child You love that You correct;
   a father's delight is behind all this.
