And a Challenging Final Thought . . .
From Upgrade: 10 Secrets to the Best Education for Your Child, by Kevin Swanson ~
We have already established that the ancient book of Proverbs is dedicated to the topic of educating a young person. It is packed with character lessons communicated to a son by his father and mother. There is far more in this book, however, than character lessons. It contains a penetrating and powerful methodology for education. It is education rooted in a relationship, carried from the heart of a father to the heart of a son. The father’s teaching is caring, intimate, open, and honest–even desperate and demanding at points.
But the core of this relational method of education emerges in Proverbs 23:26, where the father bursts out with something of a plea, a demand, and heart-deep desire: “My son, give me your heart and let your eyes observe my ways” (italics mine).
It is plain from the context that this is the boy’s father speaking, and he is not merely asking for his son’s attention. He is after his heart. He wants his son to come close enough to listen to his heart. He wants his son to be close enough to observe his ways. This, of course, assumes that the father has a heart for God and a vision for His kingdom. He tells his son, “Follow me as I lead you to God. Go with me, son! Follow me as I teach you the truth.”
