My Sons WILL Be taught by the LORD

God's Word makes that promise!
I trust in Him.
I give the education of my sons to God.
They are kings in His Kingdom.



<< Isaiah 54:13 >>

New International Version
(©1984)

All your sons will be taught by the LORD, and great will be your children's peace. New Living Translation (©2007)
I will teach all your children, and they will enjoy great peace.
English Standard Version (©2001)
All your children shall be taught by the LORD, and great shall be the peace of your children.
New American Standard Bible (©1995)
"All your sons will be taught of the LORD; And the well-being of your sons will be great.
GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995)
All your children will be taught by the LORD, and your children will have unlimited peace.




John 6:45 It is written in the Prophets: 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me.

Acts 2:39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off--for all whom the Lord our God will call."

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child...


The ever popular verse:

Train up a child in the way HE will go and when HE is old HE will not depart from it.  (Proverbs 22:6)

A lot of people think that means to keep your kids in church and when they are old, they'll still go.(I've actually heard them say this.) If that's what it means, then the Bible is a lie.  God doesn't lie, so that's not what it means!

It means to guide your child to go the direction that he is wired.  How interesting is that?  God has wired each of us differently.  If we learn in the way that we are wired, we'll stick with it!

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Train - Initiate, and so, educate.
The way he should go - Or, according to the tenor of his way, i. e., the path especially belonging to, especially fitted for, the individual's character. The proverb enjoins the closest possible study of each child's temperament and the adaptation of "his way of life" to that.
