Proverbs 3:1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
As chapter 3 begins it reminds us to keep the laws of God in hearts and not forget them. By doing this we see that there are benefits promised by God. We can have peace because we are living by God’s law and He will also give us a long life . Along with keeping these laws go mercy and truth, two things as a good christian we can not do without. We are always to have compassion with people because it helps us to show them God’s love. The only way to do it is by telling them the truth. The best praise a person can ever get is for someone to say they are a truthful person. It is always better to tell people the truth no matter how much it hurts than to tell a lie. By always being truthful you will not only find favor with God but also with man.
