Read Proverbs 24:21&22  These two verses are like our verses yesterday.  The first verse says that we should fear two people.  Who are they?  Actually, we should fear a lot more people, but in our verses for today, we will just deal with the Lord and the king.  You might say, “But we don’t have a king today.  How can I fear the king if we don’t actually have a king?”  Good question.  But we do have people who rule over us just like a king.  Can you think of some people who we should obey?  Then the second half of the first verse says we should not meddle with either the Lord or the king.  That word meddle beans to mess with.  We shouldn’t mess with God or the king.  That is good advice.  Do you know someone who thinks that they are smarter than their mother or Father?  Do you know someone who thinks that they are smarter than their Sunday school teacher or Master Club leader?  They are rebellious.  And the last verse  says that they will have great calamity and great ruin.  Calamity means everything will go wrong for them.  And ruin … you know what ruin is.  I don’t want ruin or calamity.  I want to obey the Lord and the rulers over me.
