Do Something During the week ahead, turn your learning into doing.

You have absorbed a lot of information during the course of this study. Take whatever time is necessary to read back over your notes, thoughtfully and reflectively. Consider the introspective questions below as you work back through the study. Search Me, O God For introspection during the coming week. I have learned a great deal over the past several weeks. What topics were especially meaningful to me in my own parenting experience and need? What Scripture passages were particularly illuminating for me? What are the corrections that I need to make? Who in my life can encourage me in this undertaking? Want to Know More? 1 Kings 12:1-24 chronicles the tragic consequences of an arrogant young heart compounded by the blindness of youth and the unwise selection of companions. Read and study this passage, along with Proverbs 1:8-19 , in which the father issues to his son his very first warning—against sinful associations. The wisdom of these passages is succinctly summed up in Proverbs 13:20 , discussed above. Memorize this simple verse, apply it in your own life, and find real-life examples to impress it upon your children. For More From Paul Tripp: [Insert resource information]
