There is confusion and frustration in looking to the world for answers; in contrast, there is joy in knowing the source of true knowledge and wisdom.  

Proverbs 3:13

   Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding.

We are constantly confronted with perplexing issues; from the moment by moment interactions with our children to responding to the bias of the social reformers of our day. Are you perplexed or confused? Something is just, not right! The answers are in His word.

Fear of the Lord really is the beginning of wisdom and understanding.

Proverbs 9:10

    The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.    

We need wisdom and understanding to build and establish our house.

Proverbs 24:3

    Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:

There are secret treasures in His word that others will not know.

Isaiah 45:3

    And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.

Eccles. 2:26

    For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.

Proverbs 2:6

    For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

Our children need to know that every branch of knowledge will have error to the extent that those who study and teach it reject the word of God. The world has fundamental error in their understanding of science, history, sociology, psychology, philosophy, ethics, law, politics, economics, etc. God has given us the foundational truths for each of these areas so that we can identify the error of the worlds teaching and correct it in our own life and teaching.

It is exciting to know the source of truth when the world throws its false ideas at us. We have a tremendous opportunity as home educators to study with our children, so that we can know how to answer.

Proverbs5:28

    The heart of the righteous studies how to answer, But the mouth of the wicked pours forth evil. 

I don't know all the answers, but I know the One who does. Going to Him for answers is one of "the joys set before us."
