By He Reads Truth
After completing your daily reading, come back to chat with fellow Bible readers about any reflections you have on the proverbs, introduction, or questions from today.
The last words in the Old Testament tell us the Messiah “will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers,” healing what is broken between them (Malachi 4:6). Few relationships carry greater room for influence or pain than the parent-child relationship. The book of Proverbs not only acknowledges the capacity this type of relationship has to shape a young person’s life in beautiful and lasting ways, but it also speaks to the impact that children have on their parents.
Reflection Questions:
How did you see the wisdom in these verses modeled or not modeled for you as a child?
When you think about God as our perfect Father, how does your perspective on these proverbs change?
In what ways can the parent-child relationship give us a deeper understanding of the gospel in our lives?
