The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him. (Proverbs 20:7)
For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. (2 Corinthians 1:12)
Cross Reference
His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. (Psalm 112:2)
For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. (2 Corinthians 2:17)
He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed. (Psalm 37:26)
Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. (1 Corinthians 2:13)

: Thank you for your word LORD.
My daughters are an inheritance from GOD.
: Thank you for your word LORD.
My daughters are an inheritance from GOD.What a beautiful comment, Enrique! It is wonderful to see how you recognize that your daughters are an inheritance from God. As Charles Spurgeon mentions in his devotional, our integrity can be an instrument of God to save our children. By walking before the Lord in integrity, we are leaving an invaluable spiritual legacy to our families. As it says in Proverbs 20:7, "A righteous man walks in integrity; how blessed are his children after him!" May God's grace continue to guide your life and that of your loved ones. Blessings!
Samuel Cuadros Acosta : Thank you, beloved brothers, for the Devotional, which is very blessed by reminding me how important and healthy it is to leave our children not only a good education, but above all what has eternal value: Holiness, Integrity, Honesty and a genuine pious life to Christ, more than my words are my behavior and life examples that I will leave you.
Help me Holy Spirit
What a beautiful comment, Samuel. It is inspiring to see your desire to leave a legacy of integrity and faith to your loved ones. As Charles Spurgeon mentions, our example and our life of righteousness can be a mine of true wealth for our descendants. Your desire for your behavior and your examples to speak louder than your words is a reflection of a heart willing to live consistently with faith. In 2 Corinthians 1:12 we are reminded that our satisfaction is in the holiness and sincerity that come from God. May the Holy Spirit guide and strengthen you in your purpose to be a living testimony for your loved ones. God bless you abundantly!

: What a great devotional for Christian parents to meditate on. Our integrity and our weaknesses in everything we do are manifest before God and our family. Our children are a reflection of who we are and who we act.
: What a great devotional for Christian parents to meditate on. Our integrity and our weaknesses in everything we do are manifest before God and our family. Our children are a reflection of who we are and who we act.Carlos, thank you for sharing your reflections. It is true that integrity and our actions as parents have a profound impact on our children. As Charles Spurgeon mentions, our holy life can be an instrument of God to influence the faith and spiritual path of our family. Our children, in some way, reflect who we are and how we act. It is a powerful reminder of the responsibility we have as Christian parents to live according to the principles of our faith. May this devotional continue to inspire you to be an example of integrity and faithfulness to God for your loved ones. May the grace of God accompany you on this path!

: Righteousness is inherited, although modernity tries to make good things look like things for old people and drags youth into disorderly debauchery. Let us pray for our children so that they do not stray from the path of the Lord.
: Righteousness is inherited, although modernity tries to make good things look like things for old people and drags youth into disorderly debauchery. Let us pray for our children so that they do not stray from the path of the Lord.What an accurate reflection, Francisco. It is true that in today's society the value of righteousness is often belittled and lifestyles far from moral principles are promoted. However, as you mention, righteousness is an invaluable quality that can be inherited and has a lasting impact, as Charles Spurgeon expresses in his devotional. It is comforting to know that we can intercede in prayer for our children, so that they remain firm in the path of the Lord. In Proverbs 20:7 we are reminded that "A righteous man walks in integrity; how blessed are his children after him!" May your prayers for your children be an anchor that guides and protects them in the midst of the temptations of the world. May God strengthen you in that beautiful work of prayer and example!
luis alfredo ramirez cano: By their fruits you will know them. We must be an example, not only within our family with our children; We must be an example to all the people around us, who look at us, to those we lead, to those with whom we interact at all times and places; Our actions must spring from the fruit of the Spirit that dwells in us, (because the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, justice and truth). We are to be imitators of God as beloved children (Ephesians 5:1).

What you mention is very true about the importance of being an example not only for our family, but for everyone around us. As you mention, our actions must reflect the fruits of the Spirit that inhabit us, manifesting goodness, justice and truth in every interaction. In the verse you share from Ephesians 5:1 we are exhorted to imitate God as beloved children, which means living in integrity and reflecting His love and goodness at all times. May your life testimony be a light that illuminates the path of those around you, inspiring them to seek God and live according to His will. May God's grace guide you in this purpose of being a reflection of His love and truth!
