The Counsel Of Godly Parents
Thursday, February 26, 2026Key Verse
“What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows? Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings” (Proverb 31:2-3).
Text — Proverbs 31:1-7
Message
Godly parents will not allow any of their children to live their lives carelessly. Such parents are concerned not only about the academic development but also the spiritual condition of their children. They desire to bequeath to them a family legacy of faith and faithfulness to God. Godly parents do guide their children in the path of righteousness by teaching them about God, His words, love and engaging them in prayers and devotion with the intention to make the children’s lives glorious and honouring to God.
Godly parents watch over their children – the kinds of friends they keep, places they go to, kinds of songs they listen to and so forth. This is to ensure they mature to be men and women whose lives glorify God. John and Charles Wesley, including their siblings, were respected and godly people because they followed the guidance of their godly mother. Their lives inspired many to follow Christ. Regrets, destruction and eternal condemnation await any youth who rejects or neglects godly counsel to live holy life and keep away from sinful lifestyles.
