Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. — Proverbs 22:6 KJV
Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it. — Proverbs 22:6 NIV
Thought and Reflection
Children do not need to learn; they must be trained. Life is more than just learning intellectual lessons. Integrating truth into our everyday lives is the goal. Because our children are forever, God commands us to prioritize their training and place them at the top of our priority list.
My Prayer
Heavenly Father, please guide me in my quest to find the best way to spend time with my children and to share Your truth and love with them. They should know you and love You better than I do. Please give me the wisdom and courage to make smart decisions and the compassion to put them into practice in my family’s lives. In Jesus mighty name I pray. Amen.
