Proverbs 19:16
He that
keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul;
but he that despiseth his ways shall die.
Keeping
God’s commandments involves continuing in them.
Have you found yourself slacking on certain standards the Lord has
directly commanded you to keep? We need
life and it is in keeping His commandments that life begins to penetrate our
days. If we despise God’s ways, or treat
them lightly, death starts to occur. Our
days will begin to take on a sense of withering away and the life He intends to
give us eludes us. Even today’s proverb
must be taken as something worth keeping.
We could speak this truth today to our hearts and watch life begin
within our spirits. We can say, “I keep
your commandment today and consider whatever you say as a treasure.” We can write down a promise or something we
heard at church on a card and put it on our desk or counter and enjoy
meditating on it. We can consider God’s
commandments as more authoritative than any other mental voice trying to direct
our thoughts. As we cherish our time in
His Word, as we choose to want to be instructed in His ways, our souls will be
guarded from the course of decay and weariness.
