Text — Proverbs 1:8-10

Message

Parental warnings are given to children so that they will not make mistakes or go astray. The word of God encourages you to heed the warning of your parents because they know more than you do and also love you. They do not want you to get into trouble or come into any harm. Some children shun their parents’ warnings because of stubbornness in their hearts.

One day, Timothy, a very stubborn boy went to the store nearby to buy some toiletries for his mother. He purposely crossed the path of another boy. The boy told him to make way but he refused. Other people told him, but he still did not. Suddenly, the boy pushed him and he fell. All the things he bought scattered on the road and some were destroyed. He even got an injury from the fall. When he got back home and his mother found out what happened to him, she punished him. She reminded him that it was the stubbornness that brought both loss and harm to him. Timothy apologized to his mom and promised to turn a new leaf.

If you are like Timothy, listen to the warnings and counsel of your parents and other elders around you always. It shall be well with you.Parental warnings are given to children so that they will not make mistakes or go astray.
