01/21/2021 – Day 250 – Proverbs 22 – Which of these biblical principles really seem to stand out for you today?
“22:4: By humility and fear of the Lord Are riches and honor and life.” Once again, may we count the times we have been admonished to not stray from this central Christian precept.
And look at this followed by a might warrior quote, a faithful legacy for his challenging lifetime:
22: 6: “Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.”
And the quote on my footnote: “Let the children… be carefully instucted in the principles and the obligations of the Christian religion. This is the most essential part of education. The great enemy of the salvation of man, in my opinion, never invented a more effectual means of extirpating (removing) Christianity from the world than by persuading mankind that it was improper to read the Bible at schools.” Benjamin Rush, signor of the Declaration of Independence and Philadelphia civic leader. He was a renowned physician, thought by many to be the father of psychiatry in this country as well. Check out his bio. What do you think he would say today?
