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.

Some children are starved for their parent’s approval. When a child does something right or well, consider telling him or her how proud you are. A father would be glad to have a wise child. How difficult it would be for the mother of a foolish child. Are you wise or foolish? If the latter, take corrective steps.

The Day of Distress?

The Day of Distress?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know you are a refuge in the day of distress. In Jesus’ amen.

Are you in distress and experiencing any of the following? Sorrow? Suffering? Anguish? Grief? Misery? Pain?

David, the psalmist, had men who wanted him dead. The two verses of Psalm 59:16-17 (ESV) show his confidence in God.

“But I will sing of your strength;
I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning.
For you have been to me a fortress
and a refuge in the day of my distress.
O my Strength, I will sing praises to you,
for you, O God, are my fortress,
the God who shows me steadfast love.”

Do you have the same response to crises? Ask God for help. God will walk with you through even the most difficult situations.
