26 May 2011; Prov 3

Proverbs 3
3:1 My son, do not forget my teaching,
but let your heart keep my commandments,
2 for length of days and years of life
and peace they will add to you.

Proverbs 3 start off with a reminder, as a father reminds a son. God the Father reminding us. What teaching? What commandments?

It seems that I do not have any impression that I have forgotten all of them?

As simply as - have I come near to God today?

3 Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you;
bind them around your neck;
write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 So you will find favor and good success [1]
in the sight of God and man.

The key verbs are forsake, bind, write, so that you will find favour.

As simply as, have I kept God in mind and near me?

The giver of the teachings, the commandments, the steadfast love, the faithfulness.. The back to basic - have I come near to God today and each day?
