It's the Lord's Day! I realize it's been awhile since I picked up with my Proverbs study. I'm trying to get myself back on a regular blogging schedule around here. What better way to start than by a short and sweet Sunday Proverbs post?
For those just tuning in to my blog, I will link the past posts on this study below in case you want to start at the beginning. This is just me taking a small chunk of the book of Proverbs and journaling my thoughts. As slowly as I'm going through it, I'm determined to stick with it until the end of the book!
Let's dig in, shall we?
These verses remind me of the first commandment with a promise: "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you." ~Exodus 20:12
Here, Solomon is talking to his own son. His law, expressed in the book of Proverbs, is God's Word coming through Solomon. There are so many passages in scripture that talk about God's Word, or law. Psalm 19 and Psalm 119 both come to my mind.
We are not to forget the law of our Father. We are to write His words on our heart (Deuteronomy 11:18, Proverbs 6:21). If we do that, we will know the heart of our Father towards us and how we are to live. This does not promise us a perfect life, but it does promise us His peace. And that is a peace we can hang onto, even in the midst of all the turmoil life can throw at us.

I hope this post inspired you to dig into God's Word and really see what He's telling you! And don't take my word for it...dig into scripture yourself and pray that God will reveal Himself to you through His Word.
