Apply your heart to instruction,
And your ears to words of knowledge.—Proverbs 23:12
The writer here, as a God-fearing parent, desires that his son give his heart...the seat of his will...to the words and ways of God. As a believing mom, that was and is my desire for each of my children. For the Lord gives wisdom, and from His mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
The wise woman builds her house,
But the foolish pulls it down with her hands.—Proverbs 14:1
When you point your children to Jesus, you have pointed them to the One who is not only ABLE to redeem their lives from destruction, but who will also see them through this earthly life and lead them into a blessed eternity with Him.
Study the word, moms...preach and teach it...in season and out of season. Speak the truth to your little ones and not so little ones in LOVE....Do not let them leave your home and go into the world as children who will be driven and tossed about like a wave is by the wind.
All Scripture is given to us by God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction and for instruction in righteousness.
Jesus Christ is the Great I AM...the Becoming One. He becomes for us and for our children when we believe, whatever we need. Beloved, give them Jesus. Give them a mom who abides in the vine. Give them a mom who draws her life and her strength from Him. Give them a mom whose love for her Savior deepens daily and whose joy and strength come from Him. Spend time with your God, moms...depend on Him moment by moment, and then watch your precious children do the same.
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.---3 John 1:4
