DAY 17 OF 21 · Wisdom for daily life
Discipline and Children
Godly formation requires patient instruction, modeled devotion, and appropriate correction.
PRIMARY PASSAGE
Proverbs 22:6
Read this passage slowly in your Bible before continuing. My Daily Altar uses the King James Version for its English Scripture experience.
BIBLICAL CONTEXT
Listen to the passage on its own terms.
Proverbs gives wisdom for formation, not a mechanical guarantee that removes human choice. Parents and mentors are called to teach diligently without provoking or controlling.
Reflect
What am I modeling more loudly than I am teaching?
Respond
Let a child or younger believer see one authentic spiritual practice today.
Pray
Father, give me patience and integrity as I help form those entrusted to my care.
