SPECIAL CHILDREN
Proverbs 23:15-25Devotional:- “Do not let your heart envy sinners, But be zealous for the fear of the LORD all the day” (V.17) NKJV
Today, the lives of children in most nations are becoming a great trouble. Many parents have lost control of their children. But in the midst of these hopeless situations of the future generation, yet some children allow the word of God to rule their lives, such children have the fear of God in them.
These are children who keep a wise heart and who have learnt the right use of their lips. Who don’t open their lip to speak just anything but the truth and wisdom (Proverbs 23:16). These are children who don’t envy the way of sin, nor do they get themselves involved in the sinful nature of this generation. Rather, they fear the Lord, and this affects everything they do (Proverbs 23:17). Most of the youths of this day go into untimely relationships and cheating everywhere because of fear of failure and fear of tomorrow. But these peculiar children always put their hope in God (Proverbs 23:18). They don’t join the drunkards nor go about eating anywhere, anyhow.
No matter what the case may be, they obey their parents and do not count the aged to be foolish (2 Timothy 3:2). They humble themselves to earn the promotion of God (1 Peter 5:6). They honour their parents as a seed for their future honour (Ephesians 6:1-3). So it shall surely be well with them, and they shall be made to prosper by the hand of the Lord. And shall be preserved in this decaying generation.
Prayer: Lord, make me an honourable child.
