Will You Encourage a Child’s Pure and Upright Conduct?

Will You Encourage a Child’s Pure and Upright Conduct?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those children whose conduct is pure and upright. In Jesus’s name, amen.

In law, in some jurisdictions, a child of age eight can be held responsible for their actions. Courts have ruled that a child of this age has the ability to form willful intent to act.

Parents, share with your children Proverbs 20:11 (ESV) which is about a child’s reputation.

“Even a child makes himself known by his acts,
by whether his conduct is pure and upright.”

Help your children to build a good reputation.

Give praise for pure and upright behavior.

That I Might Not Sin Against You!

That I Might Not Sin Against You!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who say, “I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.” In Jesus’ name, amen.

Psalm 119 is divided into sections. It is an acrostic psalm based on the Hebrew alphabet.

Each letter is given a section. Beginning with a question, Psalm 119:9-16 (ESV) is identified by the Hebrew letter “Beth.” It is the second section.

“How can a young man keep his way pure?
By guarding it according to your word.
With my whole heart I seek you;
let me not wander from your commandments!
I have stored up your word in my heart,
that I might not sin against you.
Blessed are you, O Lord;
teach me your statutes!
With my lips I declare
all the rules of your mouth.
In the way of your testimonies I delight
as much as in all riches.
I will meditate on your precepts
and fix my eyes on your ways.
I will delight in your statutes;
I will not forget your word.”

This second section of the psalm seems to answer the question about how a young man can keep his way pure. Young or old, a person can benefit from meditating and fixing their eyes upon God’s word and his precepts.
