      It is expected that as they grow up they should drop that foolishness
      and become aware of that which is needful.

                  Brothers and sisters, stop thinking like children.
             In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults
                                 (1 Corinthians 14:20).
      If we can direct their heart aright they will be men and women of

      understanding but to evil babies. I grow up knowing little of evil but
      mature when it comes to matters of life because HE that is in me was

      the Ancient of days and He is greater than he that is in the world
      operating with His wisdom. Josiah was how many years when he

      became the king of Israel (2 Chronicle 34: 1; 12: 1; 2 King 22: 1; 24:
      1) so also Jeremiah, Jehoash, Solomon etc. Our Lord Jesus was at
      the temple at age twelve teaching what marvel the elders (Luke 2: 39

      – 47; Daniel 1:17; Job 32: 6 - 9). This verse in Luke tells us that he
      was filled with wisdom, wax strong in spirit and that the grace of

      God was upon him yet sinless. The question is ''how is your child
      growing '' just in stature?

              And the boy Samuel continued to grow in stature and

             in favor with the Lord and with people (1 Samuel 2: 26)

         And the child grew and waxed strong in spirit; he was filled

               with wisdom, and the grace of  God was upon him.


       It is the Spirit of God that makes one wise and excellent and not
        exposed to the evil world as we see in Elihu and Daniel in the

       book of Job 32 and Daniel. What you expose your child to
       matters a lot to their upbringing.
