Proverbs19:18 Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying
This verse is not just for the son but all children. We should withhold punishment from our children if they do something wrong at an early age in order to teach they to grow to be a responsible adult. It is betterthat we hear them cry because of punishment at an early age than for us to cry because of some punishment they may receive as an adult . Also this shows us that God will punish us when we sin and even if we scream and cry He will not stop the punishment until we have learned not to commit that sin anymore. Remember we learned in Proverbs 13:24 that there is great hope that the use of the “divine ordinance” of the Lord will produce Godly virtue and parental joy. Please attend church today and praise the Lord for the salvation we have received because this is the day we celebrate the resurrection of our savior.
