5. Make choices based on God’s word
Psalm 119:9-16 is an important scripture to know and live!
9 How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word.
10 I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. 11 I have hidden your word in my heart ?that I might not sin against you. 12 Praise be to you, O LORD; ?teach me your decrees.13 With my lips I recount all the laws that come from your mouth. 14 I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches.
15 I meditate on your precepts ?and consider your ways. 16 I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word.
A smart parent looks for every opportunity to point out God’s anwsers to all life’s choices from the Bible every chance they get. Again model and explain this process to your children as well has help them walk through this same process with your children. This will not just help them in school but all the days of their life!
