Walk Wisely – Week 4

Walk Wisely – Week 4

We are all a part of a family, and the Bible teaches us how to live wisely in families. Family is vital, and family is vulnerable (⁠Proverbs 27:8)⁠. It is a critical part of our social and personal foundation. It has a deep influence in our lives, for good and sometimes not so good (⁠⁠Proverbs 6:16-19⁠⁠). It begins with honor and respect (⁠Exodus 20:12⁠). There is a structure to families, and discipline matters (⁠Proverbs 23:13-14⁠) (⁠⁠Proverbs 22:6⁠⁠); discipline comforts and protects (⁠Psalm 23:4⁠).

Finally, and most importantly, families forgive! We all fall short, and the Lord heals through forgiveness. Just as Christ forgave first, so also we should forgive (⁠Ephesians 4:31-32⁠).

Search the scriptures for wisdom (⁠Acts 17:11⁠).
