Pro 22:2, THE RICH AND THE POOR HAVE THIS IN COMMON, THE LORD IS THE MAKER OF THEM ALL.
People often treat a person of wealth with more dignity and respect than a poor man! GOD has made them both! Never show favoritism to any person, (James 2:2-5)!
Deu 10:17-18, FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD IS GOD OF GODS AND LORD OF LORDS, THE GREAT GOD, MIGHTY AND AWESOME, WHO SHOWS NO PARTIALITY NOR TAKES A BRIBE. He administers justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing.
Pro 22:6, TRAIN UP A CHILD IN THE WAY HE SHOULD GO, AND WHEN HE IS OLD HE WILL NOT DEPART FROM IT.
We, as parents, need to teach our kids the proper path to take in life. Teaching them the word of GOD, and being examples on how to live life! They made depart for a season or two, YET, when they get older and wiser they will return!
Deu 6:7, YOU SHALL TEACH THEM DILIGENTLY TO YOUR CHILDREN, AND SHALL TALK OF THEM WHEN YOU SIT IN YOUR HOUSE, WHEN YOU WALK BY THE WAY, WHEN YOU LIE DOWN, AND WHEN YOU RISE UP.
Pro 22:15, FOOLISHNESS IS BOUND UP IN THE HEART OF A CHILD; THE ROD OF CORRECTION WILL DRIVE IT FAR FROM HIM.
Our children are beauty in our eyes, but they are little sinners at heart! It’s up to the parent to drive away foolishness with the rod of correction; NOT THE ROD OF ABUSE!
Heb 12:11, Now NO CHASTENING SEEMS TO BE JOYFUL FOR THE PRESENT, BUT PAINFUL; NEVERTHELESS, AFTERWARD IT YIELDS THE PEACEABLE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS TO THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN TRAINED BY IT.
Pro 19:18, CHASTEN YOUR SON WHILE THERE IS HOPE, AND DO NOT SET YOUR HEART ON HIS DESTRUCTION.
It may not be joyful for the parent or child, but it is a necessary thing to do! Remember, even the LORD disciplines those HE loves!
Heb 12:6, FOR WHOM THE LORD LOVES HE CHASTENS, AND SCOURGES EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVES.”
