SCRIPTURE PASSAGE OF THE DAY
Proverbs 22:6 (message)
Point your kids in the right direction— when they’re old they won’t be lost
Point your kids in the right direction— when they’re old they won’t be lost
(King James Version)
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Deuteronomy 6:5-7
5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. 6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
We are to train our children. To train means to instruct. We must make a decision to actively be involved in instructing our children in the behaviors that are suitable for our standards of life. Don't allow the school systems to be the only instruction that your child receives. It is not enough just to be a parent. We must instill godly values into our children. We must teach them God's laws, His principles and His way of doing things. When we don't arm our children with these standards we do them a disjustice. Please read the entire chapter of Deuteronomy 6 to get the full understanding and enlightenment. Take time today to talk to your child and each day should be a day of teaching. And please remember! You are teaching your child with every action that you show. They learn from your behaviors as well as your words.
