Studying Proverbs

I'm reading through Proverbs again. This time I'm also reading what Matthew Henry wrote in his commentary so I get a better understanding of each verse. I've written out some of the verses I especially like. God's promises if we obey Him are so wonderful. A person only has to truly believe Him and submit to Him.

And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? Luke 6:46

Now what is food for the inner man? Not prayer, but the word of God; and here again, not the simple reading of the word of God, so that it only passes through our minds, just as water passes through a pipe, but considering what we read, pondering it over and applying it to our hearts.       George Mueller

Personal Bible Study

Submission, Subjection: Quiet, meek love shown. Forgiving wrongs committed. Gentle answers to rough treatment. Serving and helping with a cheerful attitude no matter how one is treated. Bearing persecution with patience and returning only honor. Voluntarily putting self in position under one in authority. This is what I come up with as a definition for submission and subjection from my study of 1 Peter 2 and 3.
Never has God asked us to sin in submission to another. In fact he says that those we are to be in subjection to should see our "chaste conversation" or conduct, and that we very well may be persecuted because of our "well doing". (1 Peter 3:1-2 & 1 Peter 2:20)
Submission takes character and self control and most of all the grace of God.
