On Proverbs 10
v1 A wise son makes a father glad,
But a foolish son is a grief to his mother.
No kidding. How blessed it is to have children who seek the Lord. Even when trouble is knocking at their door, and I am unable to help, I know that Tim and Julie, and their spouses, are relying on God. When I see my children seeking wisdom, "glad" is the understatement of the year. Neither of them are perfect, but I consistently see them working to gain wisdom.
Pro 10: Much in this chapter contrasts the speech of the wise vs that of the foolish. The words of the wise person, who “lays up” knowledge, who “banks” wisdom from the Word of God, will bestow life, love, wealth/provision, blessing, good counsel, joy/gladness, security, grace/forgiveness, and obedience to God.
