Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." The Hebrew word “way” is a word that is used in the Bible to mean “the bending of a bow." Have you ever seen a bow? It has a natural bend in it.
Let me give you a loose translation. Train up a child in the way that he is bent. You see, all children come into the world with a natural bent. All children are not the same.
If you are a parent, God gave you a special child. In his frame is hidden a one-of-a-kind blend of divine, innate talents and God-given spiritual gifts. It is up to you to train up that child as an individual. Your child is a rare, creative individual with the thumbprint of God upon his life. Your job is to tap into that child with the creative wisdom of God.
With space for personal reflections, prayers, and insights, this journal guides you through key Bible passages illuminating the path from Calvary to the empty tomb, inviting you to meditate on the Scriptures, pray, and write as you grow in faith.
