Training with eyes
"Train up a child in the way he should go,
and when he is old,
he will not depart from it."
- Proverbs 22:6
"Provoke not children to wrath:
but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord."
- Ephesians 6:4
"I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way thou shalt go:
I will guide thee with Mine eye."
- Psalm 32:8
A mother shared a very beautiful thought about this verse in Psalm 32.
She shared how a husband and wife can look across the room to each other and give a message to each other by the way they look with their eyes.
In the same way, we should teach our children such obedience that we can look at them with our eyes and they will know what we want them to do by certain eye contact we have with them. We should not have to shout at them to get their attention, but we should be able to direct them with our eye.
This is how God seeks to guide us.

This is a very blessed portion of notes I read for my online Motherhood Bible Study.
How true it is.
This paragraph and verses bring me back to the early teaching days when the eyes did all the speaking. I must go back this path and do the same again, esp. with my very own children. :)
Thank You, Lord, for this reminder.
And help me to look up into Your eyes, rather than keeping my eyes on other things or downcast, such that I cannot see what You are trying to guide me through Your eyes.
This I pray in Your Son, Jesus Christ's most precious Name.
Amen.
