Good day everyone and welcome to another day of blogging through the bible 😊

Today we look at Proverbs chapter 7 and will focus on verses 1- 3

1Stick close to my instruction, my son, and follow all my advice. 2If you do what I say you will live well. Guard your life with my revelation-truth, for my teaching is as precious as your eyesight. 3Treasure my instructions, and cherish them within your heart. (Proverbs 7:1-3 TPT)

1Follow my advice, my son; always treasure my commands. 2Obey my commands and live! Guard my instructions as you guard your own eyes. 3Tie them on your fingers as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart. (Proverbs 7:1-3 NLT)

Following and obeying God’s commands begins with knowing them, treasuring them, and meditating on them. This involves diligent reading and study of the Bible. It is insufficient to merely be aware of the instructions, we must also put them into practice, so they shape our thoughts, actions, and choices.

God’s word provides us sight, it guides us in the way to go. Just as we see through our eyes, so also, we can see through God’s words. If we see God’s word as precious, we won’t play with studying it to know what God has planned for us. King David was one who truly understood the value of following and obeying Gods word. In Psalm 119: 97 -106 he said:

“97Oh, how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day. 98You, through Your commandments, make me wiser than my enemies; For they are ever with me. 99I have more understanding than all my teachers, for Your testimonies are my meditation.100I understand more than the ancients, Because I keep Your precepts. 101I have restrained my feet from every evil way, that I may keep Your word.102I have not departed from Your judgments, For You Yourself have taught me. 103How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth! 104Through Your precepts I get understanding; Therefore I hate every false way. 105Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. 106I have sworn and confirmed that I will keep Your righteous judgments”.(Psalms 119: 97-106 NKJV)

Is God’s word your lamp and light?

It’s not too late to start treasuring and keeping Gods word close to your heart and allowing it to change you from the inside out.

Thanks for joining me on this journey.
