Keep God's Commandments

Responses to God's Faithfulness

God is Faithful

Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5) 

Blessed for Faithfulness

Proverbs 3:1-10 New International Version

Wisdom Bestows Well-Being

3 My son, do not forget my teaching,
    but keep my commands in your heart,
2 for they will prolong your life many years
    and bring you peace and prosperity.
3 Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
    bind them around your neck,
    write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Then you will win favor and a good name
    in the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight.[a]
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;
    fear the Lord and shun evil.
8 This will bring health to your body
    and nourishment to your bones.
9 Honor the Lord with your wealth,
    with the firstfruits of all your crops;
10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing,
    and your vats will brim over with new wine.

For Reflection

Knowing God's commandments is knowledge of the letter of the law. Applying the law in love without malice is wisdom. Live life in humble servitude to God, the embodiment of love.

Pray
Pray so that you will learn not on knowledge alone. Rather, temper knowledge with love.
