Proverbs 7:1-5

Dear Brethren,

Good Morning!

In the book of Proverbs, King Solomon taught his sons to heed commands and instructions. While Solomon used the phrases "my words," "my commands," and "my law", he was referring to the commands and law given by God. Solomon taugh his sons to keep God's words, treasure God's commands and to carry with them God's law.

In Proverbs 7:1-5, we see two primary lessons. First, we see the need to teach our children to keep and treasure God's words and commands. We must instruct our children to carry God's law with them throughout their lives.

The second lesson applies to you and I. We must make certain that we are keeping God's words, that we are treasuring God's commands, and that we always carry God's law with us.

By keeping God's words, treasuring God's commands, and carrying God's law with us, we will be prepared to say no to any and all temptations which would lead us away from our heavenly Father.

Here is Proverbs 7:1-5 presented for your consideration.

Proverbs 7:1-5

1 My son, keep my words, And treasure my commands within you.

2 Keep my commands and live, And my law as the apple of your eye.

3 Bind them on your fingers; Write them on the tablet of your heart.

4 Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” And call understanding your nearest kin,

5 That they may keep you from the immoral woman, From the seductress who flatters with her words.

In Love,

John Duvall
