We need wisdom for those seasons in life when we are on top and for those seasons in life when nothing is going right.

God is with us in both, with a wisdom that makes a positive difference.

Earlier in Proverbs 3, God called us to trust him wholeheartedly (v. 5).

Now, in Proverbs 3:9–12, he leads us to trust him wholeheartedly when we are pushed out to these two opposite edges of our lives—plenty and pain.
