Reading – Proverbs 4
Highlight Verse:
“My child, listen to me and do as I say, and you will have a long, good life.”
Proverbs 4:10 NLT
This was written by Solomon, who learned much of his wisdom from his father, David.
Proverbs is his attempt at passing down that wisdom to future generations.
For the most part, my father was not wise. He made many mistakes out of poor judgement and weak morals.
But there is still some wisdom that he passed along to me.
- If a job is worth doing, it’s worth doing well.
- You get out of life what you put into it.
- When you see someone in need, stop what you’re doing and help.
- Don’t be afraid to admit your wrongs and try to change them.
Okay, the list is pretty short, but there was some and I will pass it and other wisdom I’ve gained along the way on to my children and those whom I influence.
Do/did you have a wise father? What kind of wisdom did you get from him?
Do/did you have an unwise father? Have you been able to glean any wisdom from him?
One other thing I learned from my dad was a love for Christmas. It’s a time from which I have mostly good childhood memories.
I pray that today and tomorrow be times where new good memories come for you and your families.
