Faithful Instruction

She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. Prov. 31:26 NIV

I know, that pesky Prov.31 Chick keeps popping up!

As I cruised Face Book and Twitter today I was made very aware that today was the first day of school for many here in Florida.

As an aside, I have no idea why the kids here are forced back to school the last few weeks of August. Seems to me the proper thing to do is to wait till after the Labor Day holiday. But, no one asked me!

Trying to come up with an eye catching photo for my thoughts I stumbled on this one. My two oldest ones on their first day of school.

To give you an idea, both of these cuties are in their mid-thirties now!! YIKES

Reading this scripture makes me think of all the times as a young mother I didn't speak with wisdom and faithful instruction was not on my tongue, in my mind or anywhere else.

As parents, it is our privilege to train and teach our children.

The only way a young parent can accomplish this feat is by having Godly parents to model after, or have a Godly mentor.

Without a strong faith and solid support system in place it is almost impossible to become a speaker of wisdom. God's Wisdom

To be able to fill our children with faithful instruction, or instruction that is full of faith, we ourselves must be dedicated to studying the Word and walking everyday as closely as we can with God.

Every moment of everyday we must be studying who He is and what He does, so we can be filled with faith and set the example for our household.

The best way to study Him besides reading His word, is living the kind of life He has purposed for us.

It's not about the money, cars, or the big house, it's about knowing Him, being so in love with Him that we know what ever comes our way He's got our back.

Faithful Instruction is living a life that exemplifies faith in the Father.

We teach by speaking God's word and telling our children all the miracles He's done for us. Speaking Blessings not Curses.

We teach by being a living example to our children and when they get to be adults they will in turn be able to Speak with Wisdom and have Faithful Instruction on their tongues.

Could I possibly be the only parent with mounds of regrets regarding the upbringing of my children? Am I the only one that made mistakes? Is there no one out there that would give anything to be able to go back and redo a lot of what was done? I can't be the only one....

We can't go back and start over with the wisdom we have today, but we can take the wisdom we have now and use it to help others along their journey.

It doesn't matter how old or young you are, look for someone to teach, someone to share your wisdom with. When you share and pour out God will bless you with more.

Suddenly you'll realize you are speaking with wisdom and faithful instruction is on your tongue.
