This amazing necklace- teaching from God's Word

 "Bind them always upon your heart; tie them around your neck. When you walk, they will guide you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; when you awake, they will speak to you." - Proverbs 6:21, 22

The commandment and teaching of godly parents originate from the Word of God. Thus, Solomon instructs us to bind the Word of God to our hearts and tie it around our necks. This remarkable necklace becomes our guide, guardian, and interlocutor.

One who holds the Word of God within their heart will not stray; they have a trustworthy guide. They remain secure from harm, for they have a guardian, and they will not feel lonely, as they have a companion to talk with them. This companion consistently offers sound counsel, correction, instruction, teaching, encouragement, and comfort.

Samson's parents had given him correct instruction, yet he had not bound it to his heart nor tied it around his neck, which led to his entrapment by Delilah. Joseph, however, kept the teachings of his godly father. As a result, the advances of Potiphar's wife were rendered fruitless.

The Word of God became a guide, guardian, and companion for him.
