The video brother Eli presented with a title "Dealing with Depressed Teens" is all about parenting. He (brother Eli) discussed about the importance on how parents should thought there child from infant to grown up. The Bible verse 22:6 of the book of proverbs "train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it". It's like to tell us, that if you teach your child a good things when he or she is still little, he / she will probably stick with those good things and teaching when they grow old.
On the other hand, for parents who don't train their child properly when they are still young or little. It only lead to the "heartaches" and "heaviness" for the parents, and that makes sense nowadays, there are young adults you find in the news or social media that is derailed from the path. But as a parent, no one wants their child to making bad decision or choices or have a hard life when they grow old.
While the verses from Proverbs about the wise and the foolish sons really drive that point home. A wise son makes his parents happy and proud, but a foolish son causes them grief and heartaches.
As parent and grown up adult, I also seen and witnessed it in life, with my child, niece and nephew, and even grandchild. I witnessed how following God's word and training kids well makes a big difference. It makes me want to be a better parent and teach my kids the right things, so they can grow up to be happy and successful. It's a big responsibility, but it's also the most important job in the world.
This what the exact words brother Eli told us in the video:
Frustrations come later when you deny your child the necessary training. I'm sorry to hear such things as a parent also it will be disturbing and it will be a great burden in my mind in my heart to be in your place. This is what the bible always reiterates to parents that we have to begin or to start teaching our children the fear of the lord when they are still children.
Let us read 22:6 of the book of proverbs "train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it" In the formative years of our children it is our parental duty responsibility and divine obligation to train up our children in the way they should go. The word of god tells us train up a child in the way he should go when he is still a child. He must be trained and you understand the word trained. It does not happen overnight training a child may entail much days months even years of training.
Because a child in its formative years of life should be knowledgeable of the inevitable the frustrations in life. What may cause happiness contentment in life must be always taught a child. A child trained from childhood will grow understanding what he or she will meet later in life or much later. In life an untrained child will cause heart aches according to the bible, heart aches to the one who gave birth to him or to her.
Chapter 10 verse 1 of the book of proverbs let us read "a wise son makes a glad father but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother". A wise son make it a godfather but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother. Still in another verse in the book of proverbs 17 25 "A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her who bore him". A fully son is bitterness to her that bore him the very person who cared for him. The very person who loved him now, problems may come in rearing up a child but it will be lesser if we have followed the instructions of the maker of life.
To train up a child in the way he should go while, he is still a child and when he is old the guarantee of the word of god, is he will not depart from him. He will be accustomed to it, he will care for it, the training that you have given him or her. I know this is true because, i am also a father to my sons to my grandsons and even to my great grandsons.
I have seen people grow old, I have seen children grow and become also a father and a mother. Throughout my 70 years experience on this earth and I have seen the word of god painting or guiding. A life that is being lived worthily i am a witness to the effect of the word of god to us his created being frustrations come later when you deny your child the necessary training.
