Wisdom and Parenting
Series Description
Wisdom calls to us. It invites us to listen, seek understanding, and search for truth as hidden riches. Scripture shows that those who walk in wisdom find clarity in confusion, steadiness in uncertainty, and security in the fear of the Lord. Wisdom shapes our lives and leads us along steady paths that aren't shaken by circumstances. Though spoken long ago, the ancient wisdom of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Psalms still calls to us today. Will we listen?
Main Passage
Prov 29:15–21
To discipline a child produces wisdom,
but a mother is disgraced by an undisciplined child.
When the wicked are in authority, sin flourishes,
but the godly will live to see their downfall.
Discipline your children, and they will give you peace of mind
and will make your heart glad.
When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild.
But whoever obeys the law is joyful.
Words alone will not discipline a servant;
the words may be understood, but they are not heeded.
There is more hope for a fool
than for someone who speaks without thinking.
A servant pampered from childhood
will become a rebel.
