Explore the Bible – August 8, 2021
Session 10
Why Listen?
The wise person heeds the warnings gained from past mistakes and godly counselors.
Ecclesiastes 4:13–5:7
One of the difficulties of parenting is trying to warn children not to make poor decisions. Parents are able to give these warnings because they learned the hard way through the many mistakes they made along the way—many mistakes that could have been avoided if they had listened to their own parents. Much pain and many heartaches can be avoided when one has a teachable spirit. In Ecclesiastes 4:13–5:7, the Teacher instructs the reader that it is wise to heed the warnings of past mistakes and the wise advice of godly counselors.
What lessons from history do people rely on when living today? Why might a person ignore history and the lessons to be learned?
