Proclamation:
“My
son, do not forget my teachings, but keep my commandments in your
heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and
prosperity. Let love and faithfulness
never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the table of your
heart. Then you will win favor and a good
name in the sight of God and man." Proverbs
3:1-4
Explanation:
These words were written under the influence of The Holy Spirit of God by King Solomon, the son of King David. Solomon was the wisest man to ever live. (2 Chronicles 1:11-12) His proverbs were written to teach and guide the people of God so that they would know and practically apply The Word of God. Here he also addresses how one can please God.

Application:
Most of us would love to have a peaceful, long life and God's favor. We can enjoy these blessings, all we have to do is believe and follow The Word of God. If we keep God's word in our heart and on our mind, and have mercy and truth become a part of us so that we demonstrate acts of loving-kindness to others, we will have favor in the sight of God. Not only should we need to read and meditate on The Word of God, but we also need to live by it. Our Christian walk is more of a testament to our belief in God than are our spoken words. Jesus said, “If you love Me, keep My commandments.” (John 14:15) If we want to enjoy His blessings, then we need to keep His commandments.
