Proverbs 6:20-23
20 My son, keep your father's command, And do not forsake the law of your mother. 21 Bind them continually upon your heart; Tie them around your neck. 22 When you roam, they will lead you; When you sleep, they will keep you; And when you awake, they will speak with you. 23 For the commandment is a lamp, And the law a light; Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,
20 My son, keep your father's command, And do not forsake the law of your mother. 21 Bind them continually upon your heart; Tie them around your neck. 22 When you roam, they will lead you; When you sleep, they will keep you; And when you awake, they will speak with you. 23 For the commandment is a lamp, And the law a light; Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,
Though parents may or may not teach us God's word, we are still bound to put them in our heart and follow the commands, principles, and examples given us there. Then we can sleep, knowing we are pleasing to God, and wake to face the day with Him. He gives light so we can see where we are going, and corrects us in love when we fail Him in life. As the Apostle said, "You have the words of life; where else can we go?"
