Proverbs 22:6 - Today’s devotional
Phil Ware’s devotional (www.crosswalk.com)
reminds us of the importance of being good role models for our children.
As we read, mediate and pray, we should keep in mind that a plant-base
diet is a powerful example of good stewardship of God’s creation by
showing compassion to all creatures, and taking care of the environment
and of our bodies.
Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, and
when he is old he will not depart from it. (RSV)
Thoughts on today's verse: Children don't need to be taught,
they need to be trained. Life is not about intellectual lessons, but
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.
Prayer: Great and Holy Counselor, help me as I seek to know
the best thing to do with my children to share my love and your truth
with them. I want them to know and love you even better than I do. Give
me wisdom and courage to make wise decisions and tenderness to implement
them in my family's life. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.
