Key Verse: 23:26
1. Do not join those who drink too much (20-21, 29-35)
A strong warning is given not to be a drunkard. They become poor. They have sorrow, strife, complaints, needless bruises and bloodshot eyes. The wine goes down smoothly, but in the end, bites like a snake. Your eyes will see strange sights. It will be like sleeping on the high seas and feeling nothing, not even pain, and saying wayward words.
2. May your father and mother be glad (19, 22-28)
The wise son is careful of wine. He keeps his heart on the right path. He listens to his father and does not despise his mother when she is old. He buys the truth, getting wisdom, discipline and understanding. He gives his heart to God and keeps himself far from a prostitute who ruins like a bandit. The father of a wise son is happy. We should be like this son to our Father God.
Prayer: Lord, help me to be careful to follow your teaching.
One Word: Be a good son
