1- When children are small, they sometimes choose to do things that will have negative results. Sometimes parents can intervene, sometimes the circumstances are not controllable by human effort, sometimes the child will not listen and learn: If only they would trust and obey parental counsel, they could avoid so much heartache and suffering.
2- When children become adults, they sometimes choose to do things that will have negative results. Sometimes the spiritually mature can intervene, sometimes the circumstances are not controllable by human effort, sometimes the wayward adult will not listen and learn: If only they would seek God, accept godly counsel, trust God, turn from the error of their way. But sadly, too many adults are self willed and reject spiritual intervention.
EXHORTATION...
Do not harden your heart when someone offers you truth, do not reject the life line, as the currents of sin pull you away from the ark of safety.
