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.
