In church last week, some people were sharing their favorite Proverbs. It had been a while since I had read through Proverbs and I was surprised by how many much wisdom there is for Husbands, Fathers, Marriage, and family in general. Let me share a few of my favorites (all references are Proverbs and excerpts are taken from the King James Version):
"Whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul" (6:32)
"Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord" (18:22)
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it" (22:6)
"Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding" (17:28)
Action Item: Each proverb has a fairly clear action item, so from these verses: Be faithful to your wife, Your marriage is favoured by God, teach your children the ways of God, and have a patient tongue! All these things are import in your family. Also, go read Proverbs, there are a lot of inspirational passages, especially as it relates to the Family.
