3. The Book of Proverbs Chapter 3 Prov 3:7-8 Faith-Rest brings Healing to your Mind and Body.

4. The Fourth Command, Vs. 7

5. Vs. 7a, is the Arrogance Complex of the soul that leads to mental attitude sins.

6. Pride is thinking you know better than God does regarding the situations of life.

7. “In your own eyes,” means the inward man, or what you think about yourself.

8. Arrogance is walking to the exclusion of God in your life, independent of God, manifested by your actions and deeds.

9. This verse prohibits being a know-it-all individualist who does it his own way, a state worse than being a fool. Prov 12:15; 26:12

10. Prov 12:15, “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man is he who listens to counsel.”

11. Prov 26:12, “Do you see a man wise in his own eyes
Prov 26:12, “Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.”

12. Prov 3:8a is reiterated in Rom 12:16.

13. Being “wise in your own eyes / estimation” is the opposite of living the Faith-Rest life, “Fearing the Lord.”

14. “Fear” ָירֵ (YARE), reverence and deep respect - Occupation with Christ.

15. When you do, you will “turn away from evil
When you do, you will “turn away from evil.” סוּר (SUR), “to leave, to deviate, to turn aside, to go away.” רַע (RA), “bad or evil.”

16. RA is the opposite of good the opposite of God. Job 1:1 with Prov 14:16

17. Job 1:1, “There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and that man was blameless, upright, fearing God and turning away from evil.”

18. Prov 14:16, “A wise man is cautious and turns away from evil, but a fool is arrogant and careless.”

19. Evil is the absence of righteousness
Evil is the absence of righteousness. If we are not living the Faith-Rest life, we are living a life filled with evil, in the arrogance complex of sins.

20. Applying Divine viewpoint is living the Faith-Rest life and causes you to “turn from evil.” Cf. Prov 12:15; 14:12; 22:3; contrast 14:15f; 16:17.

21. Prov 12:15, “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man is he who listens to counsel.”

22. Prov 14:12, “There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.”

23. Prov 22:3, “The prudent sees the evil and hides himself, but the naive go on, and are punished for it.”

24. Prov 16:17, “The highway of the upright is to depart from evil; he who watches his way preserves his life.”

25. The positive “fear God” and negative “turn away from evil” are inseparable and together present the sum of godliness and goodness. Prov 2:5-11; 16:6; cf. Job 28:28; Amos 5:14-15

26. Job 28:28, “And to man He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.’”

27. The Fourth Blessing, Vs. 8:

28. “Body” is ‏‏שֹׁר (SHOR), which literally means, “naval” and is used as an idiom for the whole body.

29. A tranquil life tends to be more healthful
A tranquil life tends to be more healthful. The absence of mental attitude sins protects the human body; the principle of psychosomatics. Cf. Prov 4:20-22; 14:30; 15:30; 17:22; Psa 38:3b

30. Psa 38:3b, “There is no health in my bones because of my sin.”

31. Prov 4:20, “My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings….. 22For they are life to those who find them and health to all their body.”

32. Prov 14:30, “A tranquil heart is life to the body, but jealousy is rottenness to the bones.”

33. Prov 15:30, “Light for the eyes (Bible Doctrine) gladden the heart; good news (Gospel) puts fat on the bones.”

34. Prov 17:22, “A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.”

35. By turning from the sin nature you will experience spiritual, psychological, and physical healing. A right relationship with God leads to a state of complete physical and mental well-being.
