WISDOM

Wisdom comes from God, only God.

God said, "Teach your children when they are young, so that when they are old, they will not depart from it."

When people have an illness or injury that causes memory problems, they lose the newest memories the easiest. Some older people can not tell you what they had for breakfast, but they can tell you the street they grew up on, events from 20 years ago, etc.

So just think, if that same old person learned what God says in the bible as a young person, then that knowledge will also stay with them, even with memory loss problems. For the sake of our children's salvation, the ability to know God's truth now and when they are old, we need to teach them to read the bible and to read it to them and with them and talk to them about how we use God's words to make decisions and choices, how we discover our sins and repent, how we recognise evil and the Devil's tricky lies - by reading and remembering what God's word says. Then when they are old it will be so much easier for them to remember God's truth.

What a life-long gift to give our children!
