Today I read Proverbs 29, which talked about behavior people should and should not engage in including the actions of kings and parent. Today I considered that God has expectations for leaders and children raised from childhood should be considered your children.
Leaders
God has expectations for leaders. Leaders are to have good judgment and a vision which affects the creation of the country, and the longevity of the country and the people. When a ruler listens to lies and lacks vision, his workers are wicked and the people he leads will depart. We should pay attention to our leaders to notice if they are showing good judgment and a vision or we should not let them be our leaders.
Adoption
Some individuals that people raise from childhood should be treated as their real children. “He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length” (Proverbs 29:21 KJV). We should adopt those we raise from when they are very young to include and treat them as our children when they are grown.
Questions and Thoughts for Today
