Reading Time: 2 minutes

This morning as my 14-year-old scarfed down chicken-maple sausage links before school, I pulled Tim Keller’s devo (for adults) on Proverbs off the kitchen’s half-wall, where it sits by the fruit bowl. These pages have become to me a quietly cherished part of our routine.

There’s something about Proverbs’ concrete wisdom and word pictures for developing young brains that makes this book wonderfully tactile. (And bless the person who divided it neatly into 31 chapters, one per day of the month.)

Sure, its principles can perhaps be interpreted by kids (and adults) as if-then promises. But if you’re a child or a young adult, its succinct wisdom can carry this reorienting-to-true-North effect. 

I know for me, as a young adult, a group of my female friends and I studied Proverbs 31 together in college. It’s influenced my perception of strong, robust womanhood ever since.

So this morning on the markerboard on my fridge, I’m scrawling Proverbs 4:14-15.  And I’m thinking maybe you, too, would love to post some Proverbs for kids here and there in your house.

As we kick off a new year together, may verses like these continue to put legs on wisdom–a wisdom for their sponge-like brains to sop up for a lifetime.
