My son, do not forget my torah, but let your heart keep my mitzvot...
Proverbs 3:1
"Don't forget my laws" is the same as "let your heart keep my commandments". See Deuteronomy 32:46. A godly people hears the words of Moses, hides them in their hearts, and teaches their children to do the same.
Consider in the light of Matthew 10:37 - "Whoever loves father and mother more than me is not worthy of me." In other words, if your parents give you a different law than what God has given, then God's instructions take precedence. If you value your child's feelings and temporal success more than their relationship with God, then you will lose both.

Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God.
Romans 3:19 ESV
This verse is written as a parallelism.
A> Whatever the law says
B>> It speaks to those who are under the Law
A> That every mouth may be stopped
B>> The whole world may be held accountable
The only way this verse makes sense is if the Law applies to all people on earth. "Those who are under the Law" = "The whole world", which must be held accountable.
Paul and John both define the sin as transgression of God's Law and "all have sinned", no matter into what nation they were born.
I can't reach any conclusion except the whole world--not just the Jews--is under the Law because they have broken it. Only when you repent of breaking the Law and beg God's forgiveness are you no longer under the Law.
Small Straws by Marsha Burns
Set yourself to stay calm, cool and collected when things seem to not be working out the way you intended. Refuse to become irritated or agitated. Take the time to check your attitude and be determined to move through every difficult circumstance with grace and faith in Me to show you a better way, says the Lord. Quiet your soul. Psalm 131:2 Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me.
Thought For Today: Tuesday September 19:
The possibilities of prayer run parallel with the promises of Elohiym. Prayer opens an outlet for the promises... and secures their precious ends. SO! You can trust Abba to supply all your needs for today. And if your needs are more tomorrow, His supply will be greater also.
