Proverbs: Hope for New Dads, Day 32

Proverbs: Hope for New Dads wisdom parenting moms devotional

Day 32: Friendship

Proverbs 13:20 
Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, 
but the companion of fools will suffer harm.
In kindergarten, one of my sons made a new friend named Chon-Chon. “That’s an interesting name,” I commented, “Is that a nickname? Is he ethnic?” 

My son answered innocently, “I don’t know,” and proceeded to share about all the games he played with Chon-Chon. Every day, he would bring home a new story: “Chon-Chon said this. Chon-Chon did that.” 

These tales went on for several weeks until we finally learned from the school that there was no child enrolled by the name of Chon-Chon. My son had invented an imaginary friend. Now certainly good friends are hard to find, yet not so impossible that your children must make them up.

Proverbs: Hope for New Dads, Day 31

Proverbs: Hope for New Dads wisdom parenting moms devotional

Day 31: Treasure

Proverbs 2:1-5
My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, 
making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; 
yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, 
if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, 
then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.
My son, when learning how to read, would occasionally come across a word he had never seen before. He would spot the first few letters and take a guess at the rest of the word. Then if he got it wrong, he would take another guess and then another. So I would gently correct him: “No, son, try to sound out every word. Don’t get lazy. You can do this.” There were times, of course, when the word was just too difficult and I had to tell him the answer. Yet I knew that he would never learn to read by guessing, but by good old-fashioned hard work. Likewise, our heavenly Father makes us study hard to ingrain the truths of Scripture.

Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, 
but blessed is he who keeps the law.
Belly buttons were the subject of our dinner conversation, so I asked, “How are babies attached to their mommies?” One of my sons, eager to express his newfound knowledge, shouted out . . .

Day 29: Surrender

Proverbs 16:9
The heart of man plans his way,
but the LORD establishes his steps.
“Magic sand,” he said with mystery as he climbed into the minivan. His brother looked at him curiously, so he explained: “I have magic sand and if I put it in my pocket, it will turn into money. He then proceeded to theatrically pull out a brand new five-dollar bill. 

“Where’d you get that?” his brother asked. 

“Magic sand,” was the reply.

At home, we finally coaxed it from our son that . . .

Day 28: Shepherding

Proverbs 6:20-23 
My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not your mother's teaching. 
Bind them on your heart always; tie them around your neck. 
When you walk, they will lead you; 
when you lie down, they will watch over you; 
and when you awake, they will talk with you. 
For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light, 
and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life.
Dads, shepherd your children as their protector and provider. Like the Good Shepherd, lay down your life for them (John 10:11). Consider one simple shepherding practice which has yielded some of my favorite parenting memories. Schedule to meet with each of your children once a week on a designated day. My children call it their special time with daddy. You can do anything you want during this time: wrestle, have pillow fights, eat ice cream, watch football, play a game, or read a book. You can ask about their day or what they learned in Sunday School that week. Sometimes when I’m tired, I just close my eyes and let them talk about whatever they want to talk about (which usually ends up being sports or Star Wars). Occasionally, you can introduce spiritual conversations or pray with them. Perhaps read a theology book for kids and encourage their questions. During our special time, we often discuss the Scripture passage our church will study on the upcoming Sunday. Then as we read it together, they always have questions. Dads, never be afraid of questions. It’s perfectly fine to say, “That’s a great question,” or, “Let’s study it together,” or, “Why don’t we ask for help.” My children often ask questions that no adult has ever asked in all my years of ministry and I simply have to answer, “I don’t know.” 

For example . . .

Day 27: Discipline

Proverbs 13:24 
Whoever spares the rod hates his son, 
but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.
“Train up a child in the way he should go” (Prov. 22:6a) means, “Don’t let your child do whatever he wants.” For Proverbs teaches that discipline is both necessary and good: “Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him” (13:24). “Discipline your son, for there is hope; do not set your heart on putting him to death” (19:18; see 23:13-14). 

Dads, consider three simple words for the practice of discipline . . .

Day 26: Faith

Proverbs 23:24-26 
The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice; 
he who fathers a wise son will be glad in him. 
Let your father and mother be glad; let her who bore you rejoice. 
My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways.
Dads, train your children to put their faith in God. One day I was sitting on our living room step, silently confessing my spiritual weaknesses, when my son came down from his nap. He sat next to me and we prayed together for a bit. Then after a few moments, he asked . . .
