Proverbs 3:1-2

"My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: for length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee."

This is an exhortation to be obedient to God's laws. By keeping God's law it will add days to our life. We will live in peace. What are God's laws. The Ten Commandments was what he gave to Israel. We are to live by the commandments but then Jesus gave us one more and that was to love our neighbors as ourselves.

Some people say the Ten Commandments were done away with. They were Old Testament. This is not true. Jesus came to full fill the law not to destroy it.
If we live by the laws of God we will have length of days and peace in our live.

Heavenly Father, I praise you this morning. Forgive me where I have failed to keep your laws. Thank you for your peace in my life. I pray everyone who reads this devotional will receive the message you intend. Amen
