Start Them Well

Start Them Well

The translation of this passage I am most accustomed to reading begins with “train up.” I think I like this translation of the same word in the Hebrew. Whether we “start” or “train up,” the key is to introduce our children to God early in life and trust Him to guide them when you’re not around. 

I have watched my daughter’s relationship with God survive one attack after another. I do not believe that’s because she’s a special human being or her mother and I were special parents. God sustains her. 

Troubles in this world are coming; Jesus promised that. Introducing your children to God through Jesus Christ is critical in their ability to withstand the issues that will come. 

Are you starting your child off well? Here’s today’s Bible verse. Enjoy. 

Proverbs 22:6

6 Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.
