Proverbs 4:3-5 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

"When I was my father’s son, Tender and the only one in the sight of my mother, He also taught me, and said to me: “Let your heart retain my words; Keep my commands, and live. Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth." (Proverbs 4:3-5 NKJV)

He reveals that David passed on to Solomon all that God has commanded him. All unfinished businesses God entrusted David were to be completed by Solomon. It shows that Solomon listened well to his father's instructions, as a good child would, even in his father's imperfection. 

There is great eternal value in our parents’ words, in spite of their frailty. …A legacy of faith. Wisdom from experienced mistakes, endeavors postponed, challenges withstood and joy in God's faithfulness even in their moments of unfaithfulness. 

As parents, we should not tire teaching our children and proclaiming to them God's mighty work, in every moments of our lives. It may sound trivial, but God makes it vital. He promised that if we - "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
