Keep My Commands In Your Heart

My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity.

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.

Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.7

Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil.

Proverbs 3:1-7

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” To “make…paths straight” means God will guide us toward His goals for our growth. His ultimate goal is that we become more like Him.

This does not mean that the paths He chooses will be easy. But we can choose to trust His direction and timing, and know that all things are done ultimately for our own good.

Are you waiting on God for an answer? Choose to draw near to Him and trust that He will guide you.

Your Father in heaven knows what’s best for you.
