A Word for the Wise

A Word for the Wise

One of the things that I realize is important as a parent it to teach our children to be self-disciplined. We want to not just give them knowledge, but the wisdom on how to apply the knowledge that they gain and the self-discipline to apply and live by that wisdom. The goal is that they will grow up to be wise, self-disciplined adults who function well in society.

In Proverbs 1:1-7, Solomon advises us that his proverbs will help us do just that. By applying them diligently to our lives, these proverbs will steer us in a way that will honor God, help us to be moral and responsible adults and give us freedom from the guilt, fear and consequences of sin.

In Ecclesiastes 12:13-14, Solomon concludes that all that matters in life is to serve God and keep His commandments. If we do that, we will do well.
