THE VERSE
Train up a child in the way he should go:
and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
-- Proverbs 22:6

THOUGHT:
Children don't need to be taught; they need to be trained. Life
is not just about intellectual lessons and information. It is about
integrating truth into the fabric of our daily lives. God calls us
to move our children and their training up on the list of our
priorities because our children are forever, while most of the
other things we invest our time in are temporary.

PRAYER:
Great and Holy Counselor, help me as I seek to know the best
thing to do with my children to share your love and your truth with
them. I want them to know and love you more perfectly than I do.
Give me wisdom and courage to make wise decisions and the
tenderness to implement them in my family's life. In Jesus' name I
pray. Amen.
