A Family Legacy Develops Rulers
Proverbs 24:
7. Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.
The gate is the place of authority and judgment in a city like the courthouse, city hall and police station. In Old Testament times these places of authority were near the city gates where traffic into and out of the city occurred.
Obviously this was where the wise leaders of the city gathered. This is where judgment, authority and rule took place. You do not want fools in control here.
Now we can think of fools on several levels.
First there are fools who are mentally deficient in some way. They cannot handle the thought processes and the amount of information that must be processed to make wise and informed decisions.
A second kind of fool might have the intellectual capacity for the task but is immature, inexperienced and untaught.
The third kind of fool might be very intellectually capable but he has no fear of God. He is morally deficient. It is not uncommon to find the third kind of fool ruling in the gates and using that authority to advance his own purposes, not to judge the people righteously.
The purpose of the Family Legacy is to nurture and train our children in wisdom and perhaps they will sit in the gates some day.
“My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.” (Proverbs 2:1-6)
In other words, the kind of wisdom needed to render righteous and competent judgment is not available only to the elite few. We all must train ourselves to exercise godly dominion.
Interestingly, with proper godly instruction even the first kind of fool can make better decisions than the third kind of fool.
For example:
- Can men marry men and women marry women?
- Can men marry dogs?
- Is it okay to kill babies before they are born?
- Is a preborn baby a person? (When did Jesus become a man?)
- Do animals have the same rights as people?
- Is it good to teach and obey God’s laws?
- Is it okay to take money from a hard worker and give it to the lazy?
Christian parents with Downs Syndrome children can probably get better answers to those questions from those children than the answers we are getting from our current politicians.
A nation tends to get the leaders they deserve and therein is the power of the Family Legacy. It is the power to raise up future generations for good or for evil. Which will you commit to do?
