Let love and faithfulness to the Lord bind them around my neck

Proverbs 3:1-20
Do not forget God's teaching, but keep his commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity.
Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.
Lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
Honor the Lord with you wealth, with the first-fruits of all your crops; the your bars will be filled to overflowing and your vats will brim over with new wine.
Do not despise the Lord's discipline and do not resent his rebuke. The Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.
Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her; those who lay hold of her will be blessed.

Wisdom offers the things that money can't buy: peace, happiness, security.

Why?
This is a general rule to most people, but there are some exception- keep his commands in your heart, then have long life and bring you prosperity.
Love: may let peoples around you have favor and good feeling.
Faithfulness: keep us face the difficulty and unfair matter around us, but we consist to do the right thing with faith to the Lord, one day they will turn to me for my integrity and faithfulness.
Honor the Lord with the action - wealth: the first fruits, our salary before tax.
Take wise teaching to heart: stay humble: trust God.
In all your ways acknowledge him:In all your ways give ear to him; Remember the Lord in everything you do.
How?
Don't rush to do everything, think the Lord in everything I will do.  Let love and faithfulness bind them around my neck to face anything.
