Intelligent
Children
Listen To Their Parents
Scripture
Intelligent children listen to their parents; foolish children do their own thing. MESSAGE
Observation
As
I read Proverbs 13 this morning it struck me that God wasn’t talking about
little kids when He had the writer pen this proverb.
No,
this Proverb is aimed at young adults who have the opportunity to listen to the
advice of their Mom and Dad as they start out on their own.
Kathy
and I will always be the parents of our children no matter how old they get and
we will be their parents until the day we die! And we will never ever stop
trying to offer advice to help our children as they raise their own families
and as they make decisions as adults.
God
says that those children who listen to the advice of their parents are “wise”
and those that don’t listen are “foolish”!
Just
sayin!
Your
Mom and your Dad have been around the block a few times and they can actually
have some good advice that might help you if you will just take time to listen.
My
parents died when they were both 58 years old. In their place God put some
older godly men and women in my life to help steer my life in the right
direction.
One
of the things that I learned from my Dad was to work hard. He was constantly
working. One of the many things that I learned from my Mom was how important it
is to love and enjoy the people that God brings into your life!
So
let me ask you? Do you take the time to talk to your Mom and Dad and get their
advice? Are you wise? Or are you hardheaded, a knucklehead, and a fool that
just wants to learn everything on your own?
Application
I
will ask God for the wisdom to know when and how to give advice so it is
accepted and helpful.
Prayer
