March 7-Proverbs 7:1-5

In this passage Solomon is talking to his son, but this applys to us also as sons and daughters of God. In vs. 1-2 "My son, keep my words, And treasure my commands within you. Keep my commands and live, And my law as the apple of my eye."
We also need to keep God's Word as a treasure within us. His Word is precious and should be guarded as a treasure. If we keep His commands we will live. If we follow His ways and His Word we will have life and life more abundant. John 10:10b
In vs. 3 "Bind them on your fingers;Write them on the tablet of your heart." We need to bind God's word to the tablet of our heart, we need to make it apart of all of our being.
In Vs. 4 "Say to Wisdom, "You are my sister," And call understanding your nearest kin"
If you have a sister then she is a part of you. We need to make "wisdom" a part of us, we need to seek after wisdom, and ask for understanding. Understanding needs to be a part of us also, just like it was your nearest kin. If we had all the wisdom in the world and did not have understanding of what the wisdom meant, it would do us no good. We must seek after wisdom and ask God for understanding. They work hand in hand together.
Bottom line: We need to keep God's Word as the apple of our eye and treat it as a great treasure, because in it is life! We need to write God's Word on the tablet of our heart. We must seek after wisdom with understanding to know His ways!
