Do not be like me!
In an era of humanism not surprise anyone Statements such as: a person can do all
things if he wants! Personally, I believe that to live under such a slogan is not just not logical, but dangerous. After all, you can actively move in the same direction, to make a lot of effort, and spent a lot of resources - and come to a standstill! So, unfortunately, sometimes happens in such complex issues as family relations and child rearing. Wisdom is to the very beginning of everything is good to think and go in the right direction. Mistakes corrected much more difficult, but necessary.
And what about the education of children wrote the wise Solomon? In his reign, Israel reached the pinnacle of success, wealth and fame (see more you can read about it in the Bible, in the third book of Kings). The Bible corrects the slogan humanists: a man can do anything, if this is God. People are not omnipotent, but God is omnipotent. Why not take into account his advice? So, with the upbringing of children in Solomonane everything was simple. In his mature years, Rethinking your life experience, Solomon wrote the book of Proverbs and the Book of Ecclesiastes, which you can find in the Bible. And a lot of writing about the upbringing of children, warning - just do not take my example, I made many mistakes ...
And Solomon is the author of 126 chapters of the book The Book of Psalms (Bible).
"Song of the ascent. Solomon. If the Lord build the house, in vain that build it, if the Lord keep the city, in vain vigilant guardian. You should get up early, sit up late, eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep. Here are a heritage from the Lord: children; reward from Him - the fruit of the womb. As arrows in the hand of the strong, the children of the youth. Blessed is the man who filled their quiver of your own! Do not they remain in shame, when they will speak with the enemies in the gate "
(Psalm 126:1-5).
Solomon built the city and plant gardens, he built the temple in Jerusalem and many other magnificent buildings in his kingdom. He had many achievements, but he wrote: "You can build a lot and have a lot of projects and concerns, but without God it will all be in vain, in vain." Solomon advises that people stopped in the middle of all employment and realized: I work very diligently, but in vain, I can build in vain, I can work from the heart - and nothing is achieved. It is true, the bitter truth. If the Lord build the house, all in vain.
This psalm of Solomon preduprezhdaet Us: "Do not Imitate me. I worked hard, cared a lot built, but I was moving in the wrong direction, I have missed something important, and all was in vain. "
After this kind of entry, Solomon turns to the main topic - the children: children - "a heritage from the Lord, the reward from Him" and so on. Why was he suddenly spoke about children? "Listen, - speaks to us, Solomon - I built is not what we need. The greatest thing you can accomplish on earth - is to give birth to a child. This is the most important! Do not let others, worldly affairs - rabote, stroitelstvy-distract you, pay more attention to children! "
Of all the children of Solomon in the Bible only mentions the name of Rehoboam, the heir to the throne. Why? Solomon's son Rehoboam was far from the wisdom of his father. Bknige Ecclesiastes we read the words of the king that he gave his life to accumulate wealth and spend it would be a fool. He son whether he had in his mind? He had a premonition that her son will spend all for nothing. Hence the advice of Solomon: It is worth to it as long otdavat grandiose projects and the achievement of wealth and fame? It is better to pay more attention to educating their offspring.
Solomon, the wisest and richest man in the world, was not very happy, but his wisdom told him that should be done. He warned us: "As arrows in the hand of the strong, the children of the youth. Blessed is the man who filled their quiver of your own! "
Bow and arrow, parents and children - an interesting comparison. Do we understand that the range and trajectory of an arrow, and then gets a shot at a mark, more does not depend on the most arrows, but from the bow. Parents - you are like onions! It's - responsibility! Bowstring must be tight, the aim should be clear!
And our children - whether they are similar to the "arrows in the hand of a strong"? There are children belonging to life, like an arrow fired at random. It is unclear where, wonder why ...
You know, because Satan knows that the bow - a powerful weapon and how it works. Satan's goal - to steal, kill and destroy ... He wants to arm fell to nowhere! Knowing that parents are like onions, he knows what to do. Simply break the string! If you want to turn everything upside down, tear off the bow - and you're done. Look unsuitable. Arrows fall, the boom would never achieve the goal ...
Broken relationships, family scandals, bleeding emotional wounds, divorces, orphans with living parents, the disabled children's fate .... You know those pictures of our time? You know what force is working to break? You are not appalled that the generation of fatherlessness, nesogretoe love can be cynical and ruthlessly cruel? You know where the truth and what to do? God once said - that the family - the basis of all, the basis of any blazhenstvana Earth. Therefore, Satan has all his strike force sent to destroy God's plans.
Children - this generation, coming after us. Parents, be in a relationship with God. The purpose of the parents - bring the children to God, explain to them what he and a personal example to show - how to live in harmony with God's laws. This trajectory (or model for) new flight of arrows. Let the arrows are in the hand strong! Let them meet the goal!
To become a good parent, you have to be good spouses. The Bible repeatedly reiterated that a good father you are not going without the help of God. "If God did not build the house, in vain that build it." B matters of marriage and raising children without God on his leg. This teaches us, and Solomon. He had learned this truth at the cost of years of experience, mistakes and failures.
We can not allow God to build our house. We did it ourselves, we think that we can handle ourselves, and more. Solomon spent a significant part of life, and then wrote a warning: do not miss the main, work could be wasted, and you can build nothing. But the work, construction and care can lead to great results. If you build with God.
Do not be like me!
