Proverbs 3:27 (NKJV) — 27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, When it is in the power of your hand to do so.

Giving others their due. We are responsible for the payment of our debts. But there are other debts we owe besides money. When we have the ability to do so, we are to perform good for those to whom it is due. We owe honor to the elders who labor in the Word and doctrine.

1 Timothy 5:17 (NKJV) — 17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine.

We owe taxes, customs, respect, and honor to human governments.

Romans 13:7–8 (NKJV) — 7 Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor. 8 Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.

Proverbs 3:21–26 (NKJV) — 21 My son, let them not depart from your eyes— Keep sound wisdom and discretion; 22 So they will be life to your soul And grace to your neck. 23 Then you will walk safely in your way, And your foot will not stumble. 24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid; Yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet. 25 Do not be afraid of sudden terror, Nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes; 26 For the Lord will be your confidence, And will keep your foot from being caught.

More benefits of wisdom and discretion. When wisdom and discretion are retained, they produce life, grace, safety, absence of fear, rest, and confidence.

Proverbs 3:20 (NKJV) — 20 By His knowledge the depths were broken up, And clouds drop down the dew.

Proverbs 3:20 (KJV 1900) — 20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, And the clouds drop down the dew.

The true identity of “nature.” What we call “nature” is really God’s knowledge at work. Unfortunately, to a large degree, modern science is an attempt to discover the secrets of “nature” without the key of God’s wisdom.
