Parenting!
__________________________________
Wisdom comes from above; Wisdom has a voice, wisdom has instructions, wisdom has warnings and sometimes wisdom may sound like a father or a mother.
That is will we see in our passage tonight.
A voice that gives command, application, reason and results when applied.
___________________________________
Parenting is hard work (joys, sorrows)-expand; Without a doubt it comes with giving instructions, now the instructions we give are important and where we get the instructions to give matters.
(insert picture of dusty bible - already saved on computer)
(illustration) (expand) which is it going to be a dusty bible or a well worn one what is used often?
Charles Spurgeon said “A bible that is falling apart will more than likely belong to someone who isn’t.”
From the Bible we learn a Father’s command and a mother’s law from our passage tonight.
Though wisdom speaks with the voice of a Father and of a Mother today the command, the reason, the results when applied do not change.
I.
The Command
The fathers command, the mothers teaching both equate to the instruction given.
Not just any instruction but instruction, teaching, doctrine that is from the Word of God.
We are to hold dear the Word of God and use it to teach, to give instruction to others as a loving father or a caring mother would.
The object of the command:
The Father’s command- it was to observe, to be in obedience to it.
(Pro1:8; Pro3:12)
In generations past there was the family bible in many homes and it was set out and was read from on regular basis.
Fathers would read from it, teach God’s Word, God’s commands.
The Bible was a centerpiece in the home, you could see the heritage of the family in it, and the responsibility to pass it on to the next generation.
Do you think that happens still today?
If not, why?
How about some other bible examples regarding the Fathers command and mother’s law.
and how about
Fathers needed to know the Word then implant the Word on their wife and on their children, in hopes that all would grow together as a family adhering to the Word of God.
The object of the command:
The Father’s command- it was to observe, to be in obedience to it.
The mother’s law (teaching) - gives the law of the land in the home for your upraising and protection, and to guide into keeping the Father’s command.
(Pro31:1)
The mother’s law (teaching) - gives the law of the land in the home for your upraising and protection, and to guide into keeping the Father’s command.
The mother’s law (teaching) - gives the law of the land in the home for your upraising and protection, and to guide into keeping the Father’s command.
The mothers for the most part in generations past was the one who handled the day to day family affairs in raising the children.
They would give the law of the land (home) and help the children to adhere to the Father’s command, to keep the Word of God.
This also would include the Father’s earthly commands as the head of the home too.
Look at this scripture, look who gave the wise teaching.
So we have the Fathers command, the mothers teaching, all because there is to be application.
______________________________________________________
Application of the command
Keep (adhere to closely) Deu4:40; Jn14:21
Forsake them not (do not turn aside from; the warning) 2Chr24:20; Pro4:5-7
Bind them (let them become a part of you) Deu6:8; Pro3:3
Tie them (let them be an ornament around you)
_______________________________________________________
Application of the command, law, teaching
Keep (adhere to closely)
To keep is to adhere to closely and earnestly
To keep it so all will be with with you.
Bind them (let them become a part of you)
Tie them (let them be an ornament around you)
To keep it so to prove your love for Christ
Keep (adhere to closely) Deu4:40; Jn14:21
Forsake them not (do not turn aside from) 2Chr24:20; Pro4:5-7
Forsake, the warning not to turn aside from the command, the law, the teaching
we can add in another great passage too
So when we keep them, when we do not forsake them, all will go well with us, we prove our love for the Lord and we acquire wisdom and understanding, so then we can bind them on our heart.
Keep (adhere to closely) Deu4:40; Jn14:21
Forsake them not (do not turn aside from) 2Chr24:20; Pro4:5-7
Bind them (let them become a part of you) Deu6:8; Pro3:3
We are to bind them, write them on the tablet of our heart.
We are to put them before us always.
and the other passage to go with this
So bind them on the tablet of your heart, put them before your hands and before you eyes, may they always be before you.
When you have something tied around your neck, it is always around you, it is with you.
May the Fathers commands and the mothers teachings be around us always so all may be well with us.
May we take God’s Word spoken as a Father, and a Mother in our passage today and make it our life, the center of our life.
Not an old dusty bible sitting on a table, but a well used on that may be rough around the edges at times, but has everything we need for life and godliness inside!
This leads me to our next point, just building on the application given.
Now comes reasons.
II.
The Reasons
Advise, teaching, commandments are not wasted words.
They are given with a reason and a purpose.
There are benefits to the application and a description of the application in our section now.

While sleeping He keeps us (y’all may remember the old prayer, now I lay me down to sleep . . . ) This is the fulfillment of this.
The Lord is our protection.
When you build on the foundation of the Word in your life, it will protect your through the storms of this life.
Wisdom, through the Word will guard you by teaching you, reminding you the Truth and the things needed to protect you, even sometimes in the means of correction or discipline.

He is the God of provision for all things, nature included.
He cares for all His creation, but out of creation you are His greatest and made in His image.
So, go ahead ask Him to provide for you, in prayer, in supplication with thanksgiving.
Don’t be anxious, be prayerful and you are always welcome to pray the Word, pray the promises of the Word too.
