Psalm 139:1-3, 13-18 ~ Directing and Shaping Your Arrows ~ Pastor Bill Slabaugh

What is the promise of Proverbs 22:6? That our children will drift or go away from their Christian faith for a time, but if they have been reared correctly they will find their way back? Or is it a promise that they will not depart?

Proverbs 22:6 can be translated this way:

Adapt the training of your child

so that in keeping with his or her

God-given tendencies

--when he or she comes to maturity--

they will not depart from the training

they have received.
