-------------------

Raising children isn’t just about providing; it’s about shaping. Proverbs 22:6 calls parents to dedicate their children to a God-directed path, narrowing their focus toward truth that lasts. That kind of training requires more than good intentions; it takes deliberate teaching, consistent example, and unwavering faithfulness.

What you build into their lives now will stay with them, whether they embrace it or resist it. You can’t control their choices, but you are responsible for what you’ve put within reach. What direction are you guiding your children toward?
