Proverbs 22

Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it. v.6

Read chapter 22

Nearly three thousand years ago, the wisest man who ever lived, King Solomon, wrote a book to young men and to parents concerning training their children. The word “children” appears in his book 16 times, “child” twice. He even speaks directly to children four different times. As any parent, he was deeply interested in instructing his own sons, so the address “my son” appears 23 times. He speaks to parents in general concerning their children many more times.

The book of proverbs isn't so theologically deep that one needs a Bible scholar to explain it, it is written to the simple who desire wisdom, knowledge, understanding.  It's written to the childlike heart.  It's a 3rd grade level reading, not collegiate.  Even in this chapter the first verse about having a good name is something to teach our children for what they want to be known for in how they choose to act.  Are you a parent that needs direction in training your children?  Why not start with the book of Proverbs.  What are ways you were raised that you do and don't want to repeat?
