Psalm 119:43 Trusting in the Word should never be taken as routine or mundane. This would be a loss of faith and respect in biblical reverence! A word of biblical truth spoken with faith is like an ornament of gold framed in a picture of silver, Proverbs 25:11 thus our words are remembered and retained as sweet to those who hear.
Written in the Song of Solomon are the words; “Because of the fragrance of your good ointments, your name is (like sweet) ointment poured forth; Therefore the virgins love you” (Song of Solomon 1:3). Now just what is this Shulamite woman saying to this Jewish man named Solomon?
Very few of us are so highly esteemed that when our name is spoken there is an immediate peace to flood the heart of the hearer. The closest we can come to understand this is observing a new born. There is no contest with a child fresh from the womb. Love, joy and peace fill the hearts of all who are near to this gift of life. Psalm 127:1-5
So the innocent grow and time changes the innocent; integrity increases or decreases, health and soundness of mind begins to develop. In all; nurture and admonition are a father’s responsibility in the training of children to become peacemakers. Don’t be fooled by liberal ideology of “village” responsibility as some promote. Yet fathers and mothers fail don’t they?
Failure causes our heart to ache over children who are left by the wayside like so many empty bottles and food wrappers at the side of the road these days. Blessed are the families who are challenged by “challenged children” especially the families who pull together and nurture those who are branded by the world as an ointment less refreshing.
As parents we must be willing to nurture our children biblically if this good ointment is to develop in the soul. Yet again I say; this counsel does not come from the world… it comes from biblical training in righteousness. Remember the word “nurture” earlier, the word is found only once in the Holy Bible, it is the Greek word “parakathizo” it means to “sit alongside” Ephesians 6:4 (KJV).
We need the counsel and mercy of God; we do not need counsel without mercy from the ungodly. Psalm 103:1-22 helps us to understand God’s love for us. Seek His kingdom while it may be found, His kingdom is located in the great sacrifice of His Son. Isaiah 55:5-6.
