Proverbs 4

"My children, listen when your father corrects you.
Pay attention and learn good judgement, for I am giving you good guidance.
My child, listen to me and do as I say, and you will have a long, good life.
I will teach you wisdom's ways and lead you in straight paths.
My child, pay attention to what I say.
Listen carefully to my words.
Don't lose sight of them.
Let them penetrate deep into your heart, for they bring life to those who find them, and healing to their whole body.
Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.
Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you.
Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path."

Proverbs 4:1-2, 10-11, 20-23, 25-26

One of our greatest privileges as parents is to teach our children about the Lord. It is our responsibility to encourage our children to become wise. We can pass our wisdom on to our children, but ultimately, all wisdom comes from the Lord, so we need to urge them to turn to Him. I pray for each of us (myself included) as we embark on this journey to raise our children to be Godly human beings.
