S – Grandchildren are the crown of the elderly, and the pride of children is their fathers
Proverbs 17:6 CSB
O – Commentary:
A crown (cause for joy and dignity) of older people (cf. 16:31) is their grandchildren. Also children should be proud of their parents. These expressions of joy and pride depend, of course, on the family members being properly related to God (Deut. 6:2) and to each other
“Proverbs,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures
A – As a grandparent, I understand this verse. There is truly a joy that comes from seeing your child raise their child. It allows you to enjoy the expression of that child’s love, gifts and talent in a special way. You never stop parenting. We need to continue to grow in God so our children have a role model to emulate.
R – Heavenly Father, we honor you above all names. We surrender and worship you. Help us to live today in a way that honors you and helps us grow. We have generations to build behind us. Give us your insights and wisdom today.
