Proverbs Day 28
Proverbs 4:1-4(KJV):
"Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.
3 For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
4 He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live."
Thought for the day:
These verses contain some of the most important instructions, not only for children, but for our present generation. Many children in this generation have become disrespectful, not only to their father's instructions, but to all those who are in a position of authority. This rebellion of young people is creating much havoc in our society at large. I do praise God for Christian young people who are making a difference in their circle of friends, but at the present, they are in the minority. We should all remember to pray for our young people.
All through the Bible children are admonished to obey and listen to their parents. In fact, one of the ten commandments is about this very issue. The Bible also instructs fathers to be the right kind of parent.
