Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 6. I will then key in on verse 20 - My son, keep your father's command, And do not forsake the law of your mother. Friends, the Bible tells us that we are to honor our parents. Regardless of the relationship you have with your parents, they will always care for you and wish that you have good lives and that you are successful. We should do them the honor of listening to what they have to say and honor them by following their directives. Today I will continue my study on humility by looking at Joseph, the husband of Mary, and the father of Joseph. I will begin by reading Mathew: Chapter 1: verses 18-25. Within these verses is the account of an angel of the Lord paying a visitation to Joseph. The angel told him not to be afraid to take Mary as his wife. My this simple demonstration of following this advice, Joseph showed humility. He could have rejected this idea, he could have humiliated Mary and could have had her stoned. However, he chose to take her as his wife and the rest is history. Jesus was born, he became the Savior of the world, and eventually died on a cross so that anyone who believed on Him would have all of their sins forgiven and had their relationship with God restored.
