Proverbs 6:22 KJV
When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
Proverbs speaks about the father's commandments and the mother’s law. I think of a law as being a foundational element and a commandment as being an action based upon the law. I am not sure that there is really a difference between the two but is given to show the same respect for the authority of each. I am sure that both the commandment and the law speak of the Word of God and its place in our lives.
This commandment and wisdom are said to be a constant companion.
It leads us when we travel
It keeps us while we sleep and
It talks with us when we awake.
What a blessing we have when we have the Word of God close to us. What a blessing we miss when we choose to set aside the Word of God for other interests in this world. Nothing will bring the same comfort as the Word of God to the soul of the one spiritual enough to discern it.
