Proverbs for Life
In Proverbs 22:19-21 the man of God gave report to his young-adult son, saying, “That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee. Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge, that I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?”
This passage reveals three reasons why would should be so diligent in teaching our children the excellent counsels and commands, wisdom and warnings of God’s Holy Word. “And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.” (Deuteronomy 6:7) Why?
