.Proverbs 23:9-25 Don’t steal the land of defenseless orphans by moving their ancient boundary marks, for their Redeemer is strong; He himself will accuse you. ¹³,¹⁴ Don’t fail to correct your children; discipline won’t hurt them! Punishment will keep them out of hell.
15,16 My son, how I will rejoice if you become a man of common sense. Yes, my heart will thrill to your thoughtful, wise words. ¹⁷,¹⁸ Don’t envy evil men but continue to reverence the Lord all the time, for surely you have a wonderful future ahead of you. There is hope for you yet!
19-21 Oh my son, be wise and stay in God’s paths; don’t carouse with drunkards and gluttons, for they are on their way to poverty. And remember that too much sleep clothes a man with rags. ²² Listen to your Father’s advice and don’t despise an old mother’s experience. ²³ Get the facts at any price, and hold on tightly to all the good sense you can get. 24,25 The father of a godly man has cause for joy- what pleasure a wise son is! So give your parents joy! TLBV
Prayer: Father God, Allow me to understand the deeper mysteries of life, to use what i have learned to bring light into darkness. Amen!
