PARENTING/DISCIPLINE IN PROVERBS - CH 19
19:11 "A man's discretion markes him slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook a transgression."
~Am I quick to anger? Better do buisness with God....
~"overlook transgression" I believe this doesn't mean "ignroes rebellion" but in contest that one isn't quick to anger and doesn't hold grudges
19:13 "A foolsih son is a destruction to his father, and the contenions of a wife are a constant dripping. "
~Quit dripping!! Leaky faucets are dreadfully annoying.
19:15 "Laziness casts into a deep sleep, and an idel man will suffer hunger."
~Reality discipline displayed...or natural consequences
19:18 "Discipline your son while there is hope and do not desire his death."
~Discipline (chastisement) is oral correction/instruction that results in education. It is based on a covenantal relationship and is God centered and God natured. Only once in Scripture is this word used in a way where the discipline would be coveyed by a rod rather than orally. (See prior word studies by clickin parenting and scrolling down).
~If you refuse to take the time to instruct your child you ARE leading to his downfall.
