Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers. — Proverbs 17:6 KJV
Children’s children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children. — Proverbs 17:6 NIV
Thought and Reflection
A good man who fears God leaves an inheritance to his grandchildren, and the legacy of a godly grandfather should have eternal consequences in the lives of next generation.
He should instruct his sons and daughters, grandsons and granddaughters, in the things of God so they come to a saving faith in Christ. To be mature in the faith, grow in grace, and in a knowledge of our Lord Jesus.
My Prayer
Dear Father, thank You for putting us in families and for the roles and responsibilities You ordained within the family. I recognize the responsibility on fathers, mothers, and grandparents in bringing up their children and grandchildren knowing You.
Thank You for all the godly fathers, mothers, men, and women You have placed in each of our lives. I pray Your blessing on the men of our nation – the father and grandfathers of our land, and pray that each one would take the responsibilities of bringing up their sons and daughters in the way they should go so that each becomes a crown of glory in their old age and honored by their children. I pray this in Jesus name. Amen.
