If we are honest and good, then God will help our children. The first proverb reminds us that righteous people live with integrity, and by following God's ways, their children are likely to be blessed. However, this isn’t a guaranteed outcome. Even the children of righteous parents can choose to rebel, as God gives everyone free will.But only Jesus was really honest. Jesus is God (Colossians 2:9, John 10:30). If we trust God, then we are God’s children (Isaiah 53:10). So God is kind to us (1 John 3:1).Verse 8In Solomon’s time, the king was also a judge. God is also a king and judge (Revelation 19:16; 20:11-12). God gives authority to human judges (John 19:10-11). So we must respect them. A human judge is God’s servant (Romans 13:1-5).A human judge does not allow lies in his court. He does not allow any evil behavior in his court. In the same way, God punishes all our evil actions (Revelation 20:13-15). Nobody can lie to God. He knows everything (1 John 3:20). Sadly, when people have nearly unlimited power, they often become corrupt. This was true thousands of years ago, and it remains true today.Think about this: When the children of wicked parents go astray, the parents often don’t worry much because they expect their kids to follow in their footsteps. But when the children of righteous parents go wrong, the parents are heartbroken, questioning where they might have failed. Have you ever seen good children come from bad parents or bad children from good parents? Sometimes, it’s more about the choices the children make than the way they were raised.If you want daily truth in a raw, simple format… come follow us on TikTok at Wisdom for the Day — RAW.Real truth.
