An urgent plea

Notice the book of Proverbs is an urgent plea from father to son to listen to wisdom. There is great value in such entreaties to our children. Ask God for a heart pursuing wisdom, and then show your children that heart, wehn you have it. Sons, daughters, you are called to treasure your parents’ commands, to incline your ear, apply your heart, cry out, lift up your voice, to seek and search for understanding. This is not like deciding to go buy a candy bar at the corner gas station. No. Instead, is your life marked and permeated with this quest? Now, none of us seeks out wisdom with the earnestness we should have. But God is kind to reward even a little faith with moving great mountains. Ask, and it will be given to you.
