Proverb 6:20,23
“My son, keep thy father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother.”
—Proverbs 6:20 (KJV)
“For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life.”
—Proverbs 6:23 (KJV)
Here the Father and the Mother speak together, revealing the two-fold structure of divine guidance. The Father gives commandments—the direct, clear, straight decrees from Heaven. The Mother gives law—the governing principles of cause and effect, the moral structure of the universe, the consequences that reveal truth through experience.
“My son, keep thy father’s commandment…”
Obey the words of the Father.
Keep them near.
Bind them to the heart.
Let them govern decisions and direct steps.
The commandments do not restrain life—they protect it, illuminate it, stabilize it, and empower it.
“…and forsake not the law of thy mother.”
The law of the Mother is the law of consequence—
the law of “as within, so without,”
the law of sowing and reaping,
the law that teaches through return,
the law that disciplines by reflection.
To forsake her law is to forsake wisdom,
to forsake understanding,
to forsake the very pattern of righteousness
that keeps a man aligned with the Kingdom.
Then verse 23 explains the spiritual mechanics:
“For the commandment is a lamp…”
A lamp holds light.
It contains it.
It bears it.
It carries it within.
Thus, the commandments are not merely rules—
they are containers of illumination.
When you keep the commandments,
you hold within yourself a lamp
that pushes back confusion and shadows.
“…and the law is light…”
The law does not hold light—
it is the light.
It shines.
It reveals.
It exposes.
It uncovers the hidden paths,
the motives,
the dangers,
and the potential errors before they manifest.
The law expels darkness,
and darkness is simply ignorance of consequence.
When you walk in the law,
you walk in visibility.
You cannot stumble.
You cannot be ambushed by your own impulses.
You see clearly.
Then the Scripture gives the third pillar:
“…and reproofs of instruction are the way of life.”
Reproof is not merely correction.
Reproof is re-proof—
more proof, and continuous proof,
evidence upon evidence
that the instruction is right,
that the path is true,
that the commandment saves,
that the law liberates.
Reproof of instruction means:
• constant reminders,
• constant demonstrations,
• constant guidance,
• constant adjustments,
• constant course corrections,
• constant proof through experience.
This is why the Father disciplines His sons—
to give proof of how life works.
This is why the Mother reflects consequences—
to give proof that the law stands firm.
A man who rejects instruction rejects life.
To spurn reproof is to refuse the very path that sustains existence.
For Scripture says:
“He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul.”
—Proverbs 15:32 (KJV)
Anti-instruction is anti-life.
Anti-reproof is anti-wisdom.
Anti-correction is anti-growth.
But the one who welcomes reproof—
who embraces correction,
who loves discipline,
who cherishes instruction—
walks continually in the “way of life.”
Because the lamp of the commandment is within him.
The light of the law surrounds him.
And the reproofs of instruction guide his every step.
Thus the child of God is called to live by:
• The Father’s commandments — the lamp within.
• The Mother’s law — the light without.
• The reproofs of instruction — the daily guidance between.
Here a little, there a little:
Each proverb continues to build upon the last—
showing that wisdom, obedience, discipline, and the inner Kingdom all operate by divine order.
