How to prolong life
Mar 14
Proverbs 3: 1 My son, do not forget my teaching,
but keep my commands in your heart,2 for they will prolong your life many years
and bring you prosperity.
Proverbs 3 starts almost the same way as Proverbs 2. An if, then statement. And once again the IF is that if you take the teaching of wisdom, and do not forget it but rather remember it by keeping the commands in your heart, then you will receive the blessings promised in verse 2.
Keeping the blessings in my heart will require a determined effort by me, it is up to me to out my faith into action, by saying to myself, yes this is right, so I will spend the time learning the commands of the Lord, and committing them to memory. But by God’s grace he will then give me a reward fir doing that and the reward will be a prolonged life and also prosperity.
People are pouring millions into research about preserving life, but the word of God tells us how to do it, and that is to keep the knowledge of God’s wisdom in our hearts.
