Have you ever wanted to find something that would guarentee that your day and week would get better? In Proverbs 3:3-4 God gives us two elements that are crucial to improving our journey. As we look at these we need to realize that we can’t have one without the other. They are like the two sides of the same coin. Love, true love, always entails the strongest kind of faithfulness. Also, real faithfulness inevitably leads to true love. How do you ‘bind them around your neck and write and write them on the tablet of your heart?’ The specifics of how we do this are not as important as doing it on a regular basis. Once we start doing this, it is a continual process and will change us so what will your life look like? How will it change you? For it must surely change you!
We do know some of the outward effects of doing this and they hint at what in us might be affected. The two things mentioned are ‘favor’ and ‘a good name’. Both of these deal with our character and reputation. Realize that it is first God’s perspective of you that will change. This is because He sees the changes as they happen from the inside out. Then as the changes work their way out, people perspectives of us will change.
