Proverbs 8:7-8 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips. All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.
The wrath and hatred of the Lord is righteous and unquestionable. We are to stand firm in his judgement against those who are haters of God and reprobate.

Luke 5:4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
God commands us to let down all our nets. A lack of faith will cause you to hold things back from Christ which will hinder you from receiving his full blessings.

Proverbs 12:22 Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.

Luke 18:16 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
We should not assume that children raised in a christian home will know the same biblical truths that their parents have learnt. Parents need to teach their children and protect them from worldly distractions that hinder their knowledge of the scriptures.

Luke 2:17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
The news of salvation through Jesus Christ was made known as soon as he was born into the world. The Father’s business needs to be a priority in our lives like it was for Jesus as he grew in spirit and wisdom.
