Season 1 Episode 335
Pampered Servant
19
Words alone will not discipline a servant;
the words may be understood, but they are not heeded.
20
There is more hope for a fool
than for someone who speaks without thinking.
21
A servant pampered from childhood
will become a rebel.
The first proverb speaks about a servant who obeys only out of fear. This is the attitude of a reluctant servant, one who doesn’t have a real connection to their master. In Romans 8:15, Paul compares a slave and a son: "You have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when He adopted you as His own children, and now we call Him, 'Abba, Father.'"
Verse 20 warns that speaking before thinking can lead to serious trouble.
In ancient times, some trusted slaves could even become heirs to their master’s property. However, this proverb warns against over-indulging a servant, as it could lead them to forget their place, just as overly pampered servants could become bossy or demanding.
Think about this: Are you known for offering thoughtful, wise comments, or are your remarks often rash and controversial?
