Wisdom for Families
Proverbs 2 gives parents some great foundational truths to teach their children:
· My son, accept my words! Believe God’s Word is true.
· Hide my commands inside yourself!
· Listen to wisdom.
· You should desire to learn.
· Ask for knowledge!
· Cry aloud to learn more!
· Look for wisdom, as you would look for silver!
· Search for it, as you would search for gold!
· When you have wisdom, you will understand how to respect God.
· When you have wisdom you will really know God.
· Wisdom is God’s gift.
· God’s words provide knowledge and wisdom.
· He brings success to those who do right.
· He protects honest people.
· He guards good people.
· He protects those who trust him.
If you don’t know where to begin with your children, turn to the Book of Proverbs and take it verse by verse…it’s a great study guide for moms and dads and the kids.

I find reading the book of Proverbs a major source of encouragement. It’s so filled with promises, and reasonable, senceable, “blogs” - the best. After raising 3-children in an environment with empasis on Proverbs 22:6, I certainly can say it works. The Proverbs is just full of basic life values that help us achieve a beneficial measure of success and happiness that we would want for ourselves and for others. I think if the book of Proverbs was the only book of the Bible we had, and society lived by it, we’d have a beautifully pleasant world in which to dwell.
I challenge all, christians alike, to read and study “Proverbs” over and over. You’ll find it refreshing, reassuring, and a positive experience will develope in your life as you live by the instructions of the Proverbs. dwc
