Proverbs 30:17 The eye that mocks his father, and scorns obedience to his mother, the ravens of the valley will pick it out, and the young eagles will eat it.
Not a pleasant though to think first thing in the morning, but one that needs to be a reminder for us every day nonetheless.
Throughout the Bible God has demonstrated what obedience is and how important it is. Throughout those times man has demonstrated lack of obedience and the consequences of that.
We may not have the ravens and eagles actually come and pluck our eyes out but we may well wish that be true rather than face the consequences we may have to face because of our disobedience.
Trust God and obey Him just as we learn to trust our parents and obey them.
