Many didn't grow up during the years following the Great Depression and WWII. It is easy to open our mouths to places we have never been and things we have never experienced.

I know many younger people who when we were young marrieds, raising our family, who, due to youthful minds, declared, "If that was me, yada, yada, I would do yada yada! If that was my kid, I'd yada, yada!

Remember one of them, when their child came along and their child openly defied them when told to do or not do something. On one occasion, as their youngster did exactly the opposite as they were told not to do, I said grinning, "If that was my kid.... Grinning, the reply came, "Yeah, I know, I've had to eat a lot of my words". There was now understanding, bridging the gap! We were ending that phase of our lives. They were just beginning.

So when I hear the arrogancy of many of today's youthful generation, I can remember that they will no doubt be eating many of their words too. When they grow up and become a mature man! When they've passed through life's tests. When they have reaped tomorrow what they sowed today!

1Cor.13
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
