MAY 21, Proverbs 13:24

Weiwen’s father was surprised when he came home and could not find his son. Weiwen was nine and always asked for permission to go out. When he came back, his father became angry when he discovered that he had gone out with his neighbour to sell some comic books to get enough money to buy new ones. Weiwen had foolishly heeded the words of his neighbour to do things without his parents’ knowledge. He was caned that night.

Have you been disciplined? Do you like it?

It is very painful to be caned. But your parents have to discipline you for disobeying them. Furthermore, in disobeying parents, you are also disobeying God! Discipline is what the Bible teaches, for it shows your parents love you and teach you to be good.

Thought: A good parent teaches by using the cane sometimes.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You for my loving parents who teach me. Even when they discipline me, I should remember they are doing it out of love. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
