Prov 31 Recipe for a Good Husband Pt 4

Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings. 4It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: 5Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted. Prov31:3-5

Finally after believing in the name of God's only son, and being wary of a sensual lifestyle, a young man must be involved in kingdom business. A prince or a king should care deeply about the welfare of those under his authority. Having compassion on those who are afflicted, perishing, impoverished, poor, and needy is essential in the kingdom. God loves the weak, the poor, the orphan and the widow.

Similarly, as Christ followers we should be tenderhearted towards those around us. Even those who hate us and reject Jesus should be loved and prayed for. Jesus saw the crowds, how they were helpless and harrassed and had compassion. Peter says that God is "longsuffering to usward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."

Young men should love the brethern and be involved in service. Recognizing mans greatest need for a saviour, they should always be looking for opportunities to bring others to a saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I pray you find yourself on the right path. Follow Jesus, fix your eyes on him and He will make your paths straight.
