“When you walk, they will lead you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk with you.”
- Proverbs 6:22
The subject of this verse (“they”) is referring to Godly commandment and teaching. This can also be translated “it” instead of “they”. Basically, this proverb tells us what God’s Word can do for us.
It can give us direction. The Bible helps us understand how to walk wisely in this world. More importantly, it connects us to Jesus, the One Who Is the Way.
It will protect us. Living according to the Bible keeps us from getting into any lasting trouble and protects us from the damaging effects of a life that has missed how God intends for us to live.
It will engage us. The Holy Spirit will use the Bible to speak in practical terms to us, helping us understand how to live a purposeful, God-pleasing life.
