Behavior Influences

In the Good News Bible, the book of Isaiah, Chapter 3, prophesied, “The Lord will let the people be governed by immature boys. Everyone will take advantage of everyone else. Young people will not respect their elders, and worthless people will not respect their superiors.” The above will result if we do not read Proverbs 22:6: “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.” I feel the best way to develop self-discipline is by understanding and respecting God. Children are aware that parents, educators, and elders will not always notice their behavior, but if they respect and know God is omnipresent, self-discipline will prevail. I feel there is an inverse relationship between God and discipline problems; a decrease in respect for God creates an increase in behavorial problems.
