Keep my ways

The phrase, "keep my ways" in Proverbs 8 serves as one of the keys to gaining wisdom and the Lord's favour.

ONE: Those who hear and receive instruction gain wisdom.

Proverbs 8:32-33 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways. Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.

TWO: Those who hear, watch, and wait find the favor and blessing of the Lord.

Proverbs 8:34-35 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.

THREE: Neglecting to keep the ways of the Lord, leads to ruin.

Proverbs 8:35-36 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD. But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
