Trust in the LORD with all thine heart and lean not on thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
- God’s wisdom is vast, extending across all subject matters. He poured insightful knowledge into King Solomon about the plant and animal world, human behavior, construction, leadership and government, and many other subjects. If anyone could come to trust his “own understanding,” it would have been Solomon. Yet, here he urged his son to acknowledge and trust God for direction in life. As you teach your children to enjoy God’s wisdom, begin with Creation and trace His marvelous thread of redemption through Jesus Christ. Emphasize God’s love and the protection that comes through obeying Him. Make it a practice to seek Him in every area of your family life. Also, enjoy God’s wisdom through the insight of others.
