Proverbs 13:1-9 - The Light of The Righteous Rejoices

English Bible Study

Have you ever watched a child as his parents are away for a few hours? Often, you observe him making sure he is doing exactly what his parents taught him:: from food, homework, and bedtime routines and informing you to do them right as well as sticking to what his parents set for him and instructed him to do. It takes a very long time for him to turn away from seeking the instructions settled by his parents because this very child is always waiting to be instructed and corrected, even if he may not always show it. This week’s proverbs unfolds to us that the righteous is likened to such a wise son who listens and heeds to the instruction of his Father in heaven, whereas a person who does not hear His voice would suffer through living in torment with many thoughts and insecurities because we do not deeply know that we are loved by God, if we turn to diligence, we can only seek what is in God’s heart for us!
