Proverbs 7:1-2 (NKJV) => My son, keep my words, and treasure my commands within you. Keep my commands and live, and my law as the apple of your eye.
These verses are an introduction to another chapter about the nature of the sin-filled adulterer. I caught these verses today because they reminded me of some quotations later, in the New Testament. Jesus was talking to His followers (this includes us!) and said, 'If you love Me, you will do as I command.'
I really need to take the 'Keep my commands and live,' to heart. The commands of God are not meant to control me. He is a very loving Father. As such, He sets boundaries in order to keep me safe. Like a small child, left to my own means, I will inevitably stumble into something harmful.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your love and care about my life and safety even when I don't. Holy Spirit help me to remember what I have read and learned about Your desires about how I should live. I do love you, Jesus. Amen.
