Proverbs 28:7
I read Proverbs 28 today for my devotion time and these were my thoughts.
He who keeps the law is a discerning son,
What is the law? The law is:
He answered: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' Luke 10:27
but a companion of gluttons disgraces his father.
Who is our father? God. What is a glutton? One who is ruled by his selfish desires.
Glutton
(Deut. 21:20), Heb. zolel, from a word meaning "to shake out," "to squander;" and hence one who is prodigal, who wastes his means by indulgence. In Prov. 23:21, the word means debauchees or wasters of their own body. In Prov. 28:7, the word (pl.) is rendered Authorized Version "riotous men;" Revised Version, "gluttonous." Matt. 11:19, Luke 7:34, Greek phagos, given to eating, gluttonous.
As I thought of this, I realized how much I don't want to disgrace my Father by following my selfish desires. How much I want to follow the law by Loving my Lord.
