Commentary on Proverbs 3:7

Theological / Devotional

In thine own eyes. By pointing out the danger of self-trust, Solomon reinforces his previous counsel (v. 5). Many have started to walk the path of right with complete trust in the Saviour, but have later begun to take the credit to themselves for their achievements and have ended up in sinful rebellion against God. Such was the experience of Solomon himself, but he was fortunate to awake to his sad condition before it was too late (see 1 Kings 11:1-13; PK 75-86).
