Raising them right

‘Correct your son, and he will give you rest.’ 
Proverbs 29:17 NKJV

1. If a corrected child gives you rest, an uncorrected one will give you no rest. You can’t take them anywhere, or leave them anywhere. Solomon says, ‘He who loves [his son] is careful to discipline him’ (Proverbs 13:24 NIV). Child abuse is reprehensible – and so is child neglect

2. Without discipline, you condition your child for a life of heartache. When they’re stopped by the police for speeding or contacted by the bank for defaulting on a loan, throwing a tantrum won’t get them off the hook. Please think of their future!

3. God disciplines His children; are u wiser than He is? Bible says, ‘No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but…Later…it produces…righteousness and peace’ (Heb 12:11). A 2yr old shouting ‘No!’ may seem cute today, but wait until he’s 17 & cursing you like a drunken sailor.

4. Bible says, ‘A youngster’s heart is filled with foolishness, but physical discipline will drive it far away’ (Prov 22:15). Rebellion is part of their DNA & it’s your job to drive it out. When a parent says, ‘This is hurting me more than u,’ what does a rebellious child think?

5. Then let’s change places!’ Yes, it’s hard to discipline them when your time with them is so limited; but their future is in your hands. A child without boundaries is like a house without walls. It’s like living in a carport; there’s no protection from outside influences.

6. Nobody feels safe. So talk to God today. He’s a father – He has children of His own and He will help you to raise yours right.
