Day 57 Wisdom's Light | Proverbs 6:22-24

Wisdoms Light

22 When you walk, their counsel will lead you.

When you sleep, they will protect you.
When you wake up, they will advise you.

23 For their command is a lamp

and their instruction a light;
their corrective discipline
is the way to life.

24 It will keep you from the immoral woman,

from the smooth tongue of a promiscuous woman.

Verse 22

Life is like a journey. Wisdom will guide us each day. Wisdom will help us to make the right decisions. At night when we sleep, our wise decisions will protect us. As we wake, we can think about wisdom.

The relationship between us and God must be like this. God will guide us to make good decisions every day. The Bible will teach us the right way. At night, God watches over us. He protects us. As we wake, we should think about God’s word.

Verse 23

This is similar to Psalm 119:105. ‘God’s word is like a lamp for my feet. God’s word is like a light for my path.’

Verse 24

Solomon is writing about sex, but he is also writing about other evil actions. Sometimes an idea about an evil action attracts us. Sometimes we want to do evil things. But we should refuse to do evil things. Solomon has taught this lesson to us before. See Proverbs 2:16-19, and Proverbs 5. He will also explain the same lesson in Proverbs 7. He repeats the lesson because this is important.
