15My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad indeed; 16my inmost being will rejoice when your lips speak what is right.–Proverbs 23

1. Parents, how do you respond to these verses?
2. So many of us want our children to be popular, successful, or happy.
3. But let’s pray for wisdom for our children and be satisfied with that approach.
4. This means you celebrate their church involvement instead of just lifting up sports or academics.
5. When they apply wisdom to their speech, we should rejoice. When I drop my kids off at school, I pray for them to listen to their teachers, to make good decisions, and to be good friends to people.
6. Christian parent, celebrate when your child applies the Bible and makes a good decision.
7. Children and teenagers, these verses are what godly parents are looking for. Pay attention!–JMB
