“My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments, for length of days and long life and peace will they give you.” Proverbs 3:1-2
We often think of God’s commandments as restrictive and keeping us from the joys of life, but they are truly for our good and keep us from hurt and ruin. Heeding the commandments of the LORD brings “length of days,” “long life,” and “peace.”
Grant me wisdom, O LORD, that I would obey Your commandments and live my life for You. I ask this in the name of Christ Jesus, my only hope and Redeemer. Amen.
