Proverbs 23:19 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.
20 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:
21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
These verse are good instructions for our children. As we teach them the wisdom of God we hope that their heart is open to receive what God has has for them. This will help them to defeat the lures of the temptation of the drinkers and those that live riotous lifestyles. Those that live these lifestyles usually wind up in poverty because of their drinking and over eating. The drunk can not keep a job and the glutton is too big to work so they will wind up with nothing, not even the promise of going to heaven unless they repent and change their lifestyle. Let us always strive to teach our children the right ways so they will grow up to be responsible adults.
