WISDOM - Proverbs 6

“My son, keep your father’s command and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.
Bind them always on your heart; fasten them around your neck.
When you walk, they will guide you;
when you sleep, they will watch over you;
when you awake, they will speak to you.”
Proverbs 6:20-22

In Proverbs 6, Solomon reveals that God’s word teaches and guides us in life. 

He addresses every-day situations that require God’s wisdom and guidance

along with the exhortation to know the word of God and be familiar with its

application in every area of our lives - relationships, work, financial decisions,

etc.  We have to really know it, to use it.

Proverbs 6:20-23 is an exhortation to adhere to the word of God - His law and His commandment.  When God’s word is kept in our heart, it is not forgotten

and becomes part of who we are in Christ.  It constantly reminds us to humble

ourselves, observe and obey throughout the course of our daily lives. It will be

our guide, our guard and our companion.
