Proverbs 7:2 ” Keep My commands and you will live; guard My teachings as the apple of your eye.”

To have something as the apple of your eye is to cherish and call it precious.  But do we place that much importance on the Word of God as it tells us to in this Scripture?  Proverbs 4:4 says, “He taught me and said, ‘Lay hold of My Words with all your heart;  Keep My commands and you will live.’ ”  Both verses you notice use the phrase, “Keep My commands and you will live.”  It’s only for our good, God is telling us, that we should give careful attention to His Word and obey what it says…for His Word leads to life.
