Proverbs 1:1-7 says
1 The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:
2 for gaining wisdom and instruction;
for understanding words of insight;
3 for receiving instruction in prudent behavior,
doing what is right and just and fair;
4 for giving prudence to those who are simple,[a]
knowledge and discretion to the young—
5 let the wise listen and add to their learning,
and let the discerning get guidance—
6 for understanding proverbs and parables,
the sayings and riddles of the wise.[b]
for understanding words of insight;
3 for receiving instruction in prudent behavior,
doing what is right and just and fair;
4 for giving prudence to those who are simple,[a]
knowledge and discretion to the young—
5 let the wise listen and add to their learning,
and let the discerning get guidance—
6 for understanding proverbs and parables,
the sayings and riddles of the wise.[b]
7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,
but fools[c] despise wisdom and instruction.
Father,
Fearing You, trusting You, listening to You, and reading Your Word gives us guidance and understanding. And we know that guidance provides discretion, discernment, and wisdom. As our little one grows from a boy to a man, direct his steps. May he not be foolish or selfish, and may we as parents put Your kingdom above this world at all times, so he too will gain understanding and guidance about what is really important. Thank you for giving Your Son. May we gain guidance from his examples of the live he lived on earth, for without Him we would never know You.
Amen.
