Avoid Wickedness!

Avoid Wickedness!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who avoid wickedness. In Jesus’s name, amen.

In the media and in real life the wicked seem to prosper. They seem to have all they want. Yet, scripture has a warning. There will come a time when fortunes reverse for those who are wicked.

In Proverbs 10:2-3 (ESV), God uses King Solomon to convey his message about the wicked. He contrasts the wicked with the righteous.

“Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit,
but righteousness delivers from death.
The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry,
but he thwarts the craving of the wicked.”

Ultimately, the wicked will not prosper. Turn away from wickedness while there is still time.

Wise vs. Foolish Children!

Wise vs. Foolish Children!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those raising children. In Jesus’s name, amen.

Today, some parents tell their children they are proud of them. While decades ago, some parents did not praise their children because they thought the child would become prideful or worse.

Proverbs 10:1 (ESV) tells how parents can be affected by a wise son verses a foolish one.

“A wise son makes a glad father,
but a foolish son is a sorrow to his mother.”

Some children are starved for their parent’s approval. A father would be glad to have a wise child. How difficult it would be for the mother of a foolish child.

Instill wisdom in the next generation.
