As we seek to live wholeheartedly for the Lord, we should not throw away the wisdom of those who have raised us. The wisdom of God is found in each generation. While our understanding falls short in some ways, we can learn important lessons through experience. Instead of starting fresh, we should allow the insight of others to weigh in on our choices and guide us in decision-making.
The fruit of wisdom can be found anywhere. We simply need to know how to spot its characteristics. Don't let the faults of others overshadow what they get right. Every person is a mixture of mistakes and successes, so let's give grace where it is required and respect where it is due.
Father, I know that you are the only perfect parent. Help me to sift the things that don't guide me to you and to embrace the good that will help me in life as I consider the advice, wisdom, and living example of those around me. Thank you for your guidance.
