Proverbs 6
20 My son, obey your father’s commands,
and don’t neglect your mother’s instruction.
21 Keep their words always in your heart.
Tie them around your neck.
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.
Wait. You mean obeying your parents is pleasing to the Lord? Huh. You mean obeying your parents can lead you to a better way of life? Seriously? This is SO counter-cultural. Oh yeah, the true rebels in society are those who do NOT follow the crowd, but follow God. Count me among the latter, please.
