Before Solomon goes into the dangers of being seduced, something he seems to know a lot about though not with married women, Solomon advises his son to keep his words and store up his commands in verses 1-4. When we apply this to God this is great advice. The thing that gets my attention here is that there are only three words about keeping the commands. The rest of the time he talks about why to hold on to them and have them readily available. If I were to say it in modern terms I might say, memorize what I have taught, keep a copy of them close by, fall in love with them. When it comes to Christianity, do you know your Bible? Do you have a method to get to the information you don't have memorized? Do you love God's word? If you do then you will have protection against all sin not just adultery.
