Train up a child in the way he should go: and
when he is old, he will not depart from it (Proverbs 22:6).
It’s the responsibility of parents to train up
their kids in the way of the Lord. That’s what the Word says: “Train up a child
in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
Some parents act as though God said, “Leave
the children to me, and I’ll determine how they’ll grow up”; He didn’t say
that. Rather, He said parents should train up the child in the way he should
go. If you already have children, let the Holy Spirit guide you in bringing them
up in righteousness. Keep training them in the Word. Even when it looks as
though they’re not imbibing the culture of the Word, keep at it, and don’t
despair. Give some time; the results of the training will be evident. Soon
enough, they’ll come into the right place, and be all that God destined for
them to be.
PRAYER: Dear Father, I thank you, for your
Word has in it, the ability to make me what it talks about, and produce in me,
and in those you’ve placed in my care, an unalloyed commitment to you. We’re
yielded to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, and to the guidance, and tutelage of
the Spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

thou risest up. ||
|| Proverbs 29:15 - The rod and reproof give
