Proverbs 22:6
“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
What it means
What we pour into a child early tends to shape the whole life, like a young tree bent gently toward the light. This is wisdom, not a mechanical guarantee, and every parent knows children have wills of their own. Still it calls us to a patient, faithful investing that trusts God with the long harvest. The truest thing we can give the young is a way that points to Christ Himself. Plant well, love steadily, and leave the growing years in the hands of the God who never gives up on His own.
Read it, pray it, live it
On The Living Bread you can read the whole chapter, save this verse, ask Simon to explain it, pray it over your life, and share it with someone who needs it today.
