Future Rebels |

20 

For evil people have no future;
     the light of the wicked will be snuffed out.

21 

My child, fear the Lord and the king.
 Don’t associate with rebels,

22 

    for disaster will hit them suddenly.
 Who knows what punishment will come
     from the Lord and the king?

Verse 20 continues from the lesson from just a few days ago, where we learned that wisdom brings hope. This verse reminds us that the wicked have no such reward—evil people ultimately have no hope.

Verse 21 encourages us to revere God, as that’s the start of wisdom and understanding. In contrast, Verse 22 warns that rejecting God leads to destruction.

Verse 21 also tells us to respect the king. Since we don’t have a king, it makes sense to apply this to our political leaders: the president, senators, representatives, and local leaders like mayors.

Think about this: You might feel frustrated or disgusted with the behavior of some political leaders. How can you respect them? One thing you can do is pray for them, asking that they come to know God personally.
