Proverbs 19:13

13A foolish son is the ruin of his father,
And the contentions of a wife are a continual dripping.
-Proverbs 19:13


Foolishness is not something to take lightly. We often fail to realize the effect our decisions have upon other people. Many parents have had to watch their children walk in foolishness, making ungodly and wicked choices for their lives. Despite parents raising their child to be holy and godly individuals, it only spells ruin for them when they watch that same child disregard it. Let us pray for those.

Among the in-house relationships of a child to their parents, there is also the issue of a spouse to one another. Constant arguing, bickering, nagging, or criticism gives us the analogy of a constant dripping, like a leak in a roof. At first it is a raise for concern, but the damage it can do to the structure of a house may run deeper than it appears to on the surface. Let us uplift our spouses. Let us pray for our spouses. Let us come alongside one another in the pursuit of righteousness and cleave together in that.
