Nancy DeMasse-Wogamuth reminds us, the next generation is watching our attitudes and actions.

Moms, you will never be able to govern your children effectively if you can't govern your own passions.

And you won't be able to teach your children sobriety and temperance and self-control

if you're not a model of sobriety and temperance and self-control.

This is the Reviver Hearts Podcast for August 7th, 2024.

I'm Danagresh with Nancy Damas Walgamuth, author of Lies Women Believe.

We've been looking all this week at a mother's cautions and a mother's

counsel to her son who was then a young prince who would one day be king.

If you've been with us, you know, that we're looking at Proverbs Chapter 31,

and let me just read the opening paragraph.

The words of King Lemuel, who we think may have been King Solomon, Lemuel may have been his mother's fond term

for him, the utterance which his mother, who would then have been Basheba, the utterance which

his mother taught him.

She says, what my son and what son of my womb

and what son of my vows?

And then she gives him cautions and counsel,

godly cautions and counsel to protect him from things that he would face later in life

and to prepare him for his calling and role to be king. So she says in verse three

and we looked at this yesterday, do not give

your strength to women nor your ways to that which destroys kings. She's saying

son be a man. Don't give your manliness your distinctive strength as a man. Don't give your manliness, your distinctive strength as a man over to women.

And son, be morally upright, be morally pure. And if you fail to be, she tells him there will be consequences.
