Proverbs 23:19-28
Parents take great joy to see their children grow in wisdom. Everyone in the family is happy to see them use wisdom in decision-making. On our journey from childhood to adulthood, we should learn from those with wisdom, including our parents. Good decision-making, self-control, discernment, and wisdom improve the quality of a person’s life. We can learn to keep our hearts on the right course. This will keep us from self-destructive behaviors and guide us in learning that develops our wisdom in decision making. Sexual promiscuity brings pain.
