Foolishness abounds
in the heart of a child; Proverb 22:15a
Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it., (KJV)
for out of it are issues of life,
(ESV) for from it flow the springs of life,
(MSG) that's where life starts,
( NLT ) for it determines the course of your life,
( Proverb 4:23).
This is why it is very important to shepherd their heart because
foolishness abounds, meaning that there is foolishness stored up or
resident in their heart, a place where issues of life are decided.
Everything we do flows from the heart and when it is filled with
foolishness then everything we will be doing will be foolish things.
There is a lot of foolishness around the world, that's why a male child
wakes up one day and says am no more a male child but a female, is
that not the height of foolishness? Especially the Western world that
chooses to adopt the policy in the name of liberalism and help to
disfigure the child. Inner wear today is becoming fashionable, which
is another foolishness, etc. All this is as a result that the heart is not
guided as the scriptures admonish. Foolishness abounds in their
heart plus foolishness that abounds in the world will offer nothing
but foolish life. Address that foolishness so that they won't grow up
being foolish and acting foolish. It also helps you to understand why
they behave the way they behave, but they shouldn't grow with that.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child,
I understood as a child, I thought as a child but
when I became a man, I put away childish ways
(1 Corinthians 13:11).
