Today’s Thought “Barry Manilow Songs” G. Ward

“He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.” Proverbs 18:22

“But I love her” said the young man who found love for the first time unto parents who’s condescending reply maintained his youthfulness as a blockade to good judgment. Although this young man had both a philosophy in monogamy, along with a propensic romantic ideology, his parents alluded to a potential plethora of choices for his future. In other terms, “sow your wild oats,” or prostitute yourself until finding a perfect match (whatever that means).

Our experiences in bad decision making shouldn’t assume some following will suffer in the same. We must prepare to walk alongside young people, rendering the best perspective available – Holy God’s Word. We shouldn’t impose our past imperfects on man before absolute resolve (cf. 2 Ti.3:16-17) is given; but more consider our past imperfects as a catalyst to be heard without implication in having attained superiority (Phil.3:12-13). Amazingly, many young seek guidance on moral terms, while some insist on illicit behaviors as a more prudent exploration (2 Ti.3:1-4)…

Happy Thursday!
