Prolonged life of peace and prosperity


Proverbs 3:1-2

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.

There are so many places in the Bible that teach us how we are to listen to our Heavenly father.  At the same time, we can relate these verses to how we as children or parents are to follow the teaching of our parents.  As we read these verses, you will never find it saying, do this because I said so (which by the way, I find myself telling my son too often).  Instead, it always says to obey the commands because it will prolong your life and guild you on the path that will be best for you.

I don’t know about each of you, however I do know that in my own life, I have struggled with understanding why God wants me to follow a specific path sometimes however I do know that it always leads to the correct destination.  Is there something in your life that you struggle to obey God’s teaching?  Today I just want to encourage you to search for where God is trying to lead you.  Keep his commands in your heart and he will lead you to a life full of peace and prosperity.
