Proverbs 10:1 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

"The proverbs of Solomon: A wise son makes a glad father, But a foolish son is the grief of his mother." (Proverbs 10:1 NKJV)

He affirms parents' greatest joy is to see their children accomplish their purpose in life wisely with great success. Walking in prudence and wise judgment in their day to day lives make parents bloat with honor. But children who lead a life of debauchery and impudence bring the deepest pain to their parents specially the womb that nurtures them. We see children are the source of joy or sorrow of parents. Most parents are honorable. They live the most part of their lives devoted to bring up their children to be where they ought to be. The lives of children actually determine whether the parents are fulfilled and happy in their later years or not. There is none unhappier parent in the world than one who knows his or her child is caught up in sin and the things of this world. There is no happier parent than one who knows that his or her offspring are all saved with their names written in the Lamb's book of life. Children who are living for Jesus are a joy to any parent who depends in the Lordship of Christ Jesus in their life.

The grief over a wayward child is most deeply felt by the mother, who plays a more intimate role in raising a child.

In a more intense way, that's how our Heavenly Father who loves us feel. He did what no other Father could do. He sent His only Son to die for us. So that through Jesus, by our wise decision to invite Him in our life, we go through the challenges in life under grace for His glory. Apostle Peter exhorts us with these words - 'And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (1 Peter 5:10, 11 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
