Here we see two commands. 1) "Forget not my Law". This assumes we take time to learn His law or commandments. How to govern ourselves in everyday life situations, whether someone is watching or not. It takes into our account to make decisions based upon His Word and not our feelings or emotions. 2) "Let thine heart keep my commandments". The very thing which drives us, and gives us reason to do what we do, expecting a certain outcome, this is where He wants to reside. He wants us to be governed by His commandments, for He already has an expected end for us.
We also have three blessings. 1) Length of days. This is both time and enjoyment. We will find delight in Him no matter what the day holds. 2) Long Life. All life is brief, however by keeping His commandments, we will fill fulfilled and accomplished in the time we have here on earth, no matter the number of days we are allotted. 3) Peace. This peace will allow you to rest in the midst of your storm. To find comfort in your times of trouble. It will also allow you to give guidance to others as they travel life's treacherous highways.
What law of God can you learn and remember today? What command of His can you bind upon your heart? Are you willing to do the work, to reap the reward of the three blessings?
