IN THE WELL
Proverbs 29:1
He, that being often reproved hardeneth [his] neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
The story is told of a man who was often warned about a well close to his house. It was a deep old well and this man loved to sit at its edge. He ignored the warnings assuring himself that he had mastered his positioning. Eventually that which was feared happened, he fell into the well.
It is dangerous for one to be over-confident with knowledge, the false confidence of having everything under control. Caution is thrown to the wind and thus carelessness breeds disaster.
Are we sitting on the edge of a well, do we take invaluable risks? Like a man who juggles his heart in his hands. If it drops it breaks and most times without remedy.
Proverbs 5:12&13
And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
Yes.
However, we must be careful whose instruction we listen to, because, no one would take responsibility for our error but ourself. Selah!
Hebrews 12:13
And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
We above all else must avoid falling into the well. However, our children must be guided by us. Observe them, rebuke them, show them the way. We owe them this.
The Lord will keep us from falling, we would do the right things.
God bless you.
Love
