Good advice

Proverbs 3: 3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you, Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart, 4 And so find favor and high esteem In the sight of God and man.
I read this verse the other night and found it interesting in the NKJV that it read "mercy and truth" because I had memorized it in the NIV as "love and faithfulness." I went to the concordance to try to get to the bottom of it, but my lack of training in Hebrew hinders me. :) What I came up with is both words there refer to some sort of faithfulness. Don't get me wrong...all four traits are beneficial! :) I love reading through Proverbs. Sometimes it can be overwhelming, but if there is any advice needed...it's in there! Just think: Solomon was told he could have anything in the world and he asked for wisdom and God gave it to him... and then he wrote it down to give to us! If you haven't read "The Riches Man Who Ever Lived", you should.
I love all of Proverbs chapter 3, but I'll sign off with just a portion of the rest of it.
v5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the LORD and depart from evil.
8 It will be health to your flesh,
And strength to your bones.
