Proverbs 6:22-23 -- On The Light of Law

"When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:"
Proverbs 6:22-23

Thinking about this today... the idea that commandments are light and guidance and a path--maps for our spiritual progress--rather than restrictions and limitations that inhibit us.  God's law is a way in the darkness, helping us to find hope after the terror of being lost.

Today, let's allow the commandments to speak to us and set boundaries and fences around us to keep us safe, and to keep us from running headlong off the cliff, which we are unfortunately wont to do.  Let's see the law as friends that are helping rather than enemies we have to find some way to undermine. :)  Let's trust God and walk in the light of his way.
