A Walk to Wisdom

31 Days Through the Book of Proverbs

CHOICES AND CONSEQUENCES (day 10)

10/10/2015

0 Comments

 
The first 9 chapters of the book of Proverbs is considered Solomon’s introduction to the book.  From here on out we start to get into the traditional proverbs – the short sayings with powerful meanings. Truth for daily living.

We are where we are today, in life, because of the decisions we have made. As Solomon goes on to lay out a series of parallel choices, he offers to us opposing truths with opposing consequences. In this text the choice is made by children (sons and daughters) and the consequences are either good or bad for the parents. The children, then, must make their choice: to walk in wisdom and make their parents proud, or to ignore Godly counsel and cause their parents grief.

So what does this mean to you today? It means that as a son (or daughter) you have a choice to make. You can either bring honor or dishonor to your parents. You can either submit to or reject what they have taught you.  It doesn’t matter how old you are or whether or not your parents are still alive, what you do today can either be a tribute to their legacy or a disservice to their name. 

Proverbs 10:17 (NKJV) He who keeps instruction is in the way of life. But he who refuses correction goes astray.
