Wise vs. Foolish Children!
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those raising children.
Today, some parents tell their children they are proud of them. While decades ago, some parents did not praise their children because they thought the child would become prideful or worse.
Proverbs 10:1 (ESV) tells how parents can be affected by a wise son verses a foolish one.
“A wise son makes a glad father,
but a foolish son is a sorrow to his mother.”
Some children are starved for their parent’s approval. When a child does something right or well, consider telling him or her how proud you are. A father would be glad to have a wise child. How difficult it would be for the mother of a foolish child. Are you wise or foolish? If the latter, take corrective steps.
