Proverbs 22

⁶ Direct your children onto the right path,
      and when they are older, they will not leave it.


This is one of the more popular or well known proverbs in the book. But I thought it would be interesting to look at this through the lens of God being our eternal father, since Jesus told us we should be like children (Matt 19:13-15). If we can become like children, God will train us to see and follow the right path. The more often you follow that guidance and stay on the path the more natural that will feel in difficult times. But we have to be like children. We should be curious, pure, loyal and trusting towards God's plan.
