Family problems.

We all have them don't we? God again in His great wisdom warns us of this foolishness that takes place in our families.



Proverbs 19:13

13 A foolish son is the ruin of his father,

And the contentions of a wife are a continual dripping.



The first part of this verse is talking about our sons. I believe we can also relate it to our daughters also. How many fathers have you known over the years who are devastated by the actions of their son? I know several. I am praying that one day I will not be among them as I have a twelve year old son myself. When sons do foolish things my how it brings a father down. What is a real tragedy is when the father is partly responsible for the actions of their son by teaching him sinful things through his own life. We as parents need to do all we can to teach our children the ways of the Lord and lean them in the right way and then pray hard that they will follow.



The second part of this verse deals with wives. Our Sunday School lesson was about marriage yesterday and the awesome responsibility that us husbands have in loving our wives as Christ loves the church. Basically we sacrifice everything for them and serve them for that is what Christ did for the church. If we treat our wives like that chances are this verse will never happen! But there are some wives who are naggers and thus are like a continue dripping and drive your nerves crazy! Let us as husbands do all in our power to love our wives like Christ loved the church and I think we will be pleasantly surprised at how our wives respond to this kind of love!
