July 19 Scripture Verse for
Today
Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying. (Proverbs 19:18)
Many years ago Dr. Spock promoted his philosophy on raising kids. At that time he had no children,
yet he somehow became an “expert” on raising kids. His main emphasis was that we use no corporal
punishment on children. His advice simply did not work.
Children are not be beaten or abused; however, the word of God clearly teaches that there are times when a good spanking
on the rear end is the right thing to do. For thousands of years parents have lovingly corrected their
children by giving them a much needed spanking. As adults now we can look back and see that when the board
of education was applied to the seat of learning it produced fruits of wisdom, understanding and discretion that guide us
today. Parent, it is your choice. You may follow God or Dr. Spock.
Take God’s advice; His son was perfect! ~~~
Scripture
Verse for Today
Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that
fear God, which fear before him: (Ecclesiastes 8:12)
When you see the wicked prospering more than you, just remember the Lord has not forgotten you. God
loves you and will never leave you, nor forsake you. Prosperity should not be measured by riches or popularity;
but rather, by the peace, love, joy and hope which abides in the hearts of God’s children. The abundant
life that God gives His children here in this life is a treasure that the world can never have.
A friend that can be bought with money will be gone when the money is gone. Jesus, who is a friend
that sticks closer than a brother, looks beyond our faults and sees our needs. He will always be there
when you are at your worst and need Him most. The wicked are
experiencing the best days that they will ever have; on the other hand, your best us yet to come!
