Solomon learned by experience that things will not buy satisfaction in life. If finances are managed to the glory of God, then there will be a priority on Christian giving, and there should be money to help others. Then parents are in a good position to insist that their children and youth do without things that are contrary to good stewardship. They believe that they will never get old enough to do anything.

When Jesus was 12 years old, He went to Jerusalem with His parents to observe the Passover. Mary and Joseph went a day's journey back to Nazareth, supposing that Jesus was with some of their relatives. His sinless mind had absorbed the Scriptures like a sponge taking up water. His understanding of the Scriptures was far beyond His years. Yet with all of His understanding of the Scriptures, He was not ready to start His ministry at the age of 12.
