Bible Verse of The Day – 7-10-18

Proverbs 22:6 (NKJV) 6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.

Our children will not learn about the good things of God, or the right way to live, if we don’t teach them or point them in the right direction. As parents, this is our responsibility.

One day, when our children were small, a conversation arose about Jesus. They had been raised in the church and were going to Sunday school at the time.

We talked about Jesus and Who He is. And it was on that day that they both put their faith in Him. When we prayed with them, as little as their understanding was, Jesus met them. They both had tears streaming down their little faces and they begin to shake with excitement.

It was the most amazing thing a parent could witness. We knew that day that they had met Him personally in their little hearts, and He became their Savior.

Kids want to know and we have to teach them. We have to help them and train them in their walk with God.

Some parents teach their children of Santa Claus, the fairy godmother and the Easter bunny. They go all out and enjoy every minute of it. These are stories that have been made up. There is no truth in them, but yet parents will push it on their kids and make it fun for them.

But, when it comes to God and His Son, the most beautiful, true love to be portrayed, they have a hard time sharing it with them when they are little.

Today is a reminder, we must train up our children in the way they should go. Put away the distractions and sit with them. Read to them, pray with them and share with them the things that He has done for us and what He will do for them if they too walk with Him.

Give them a chance to have a relationship with Someone that will help them throughout their whole life. Someone that will never leave them.

Hebrews 13:5 (NKJV) 5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-25-17

Proverbs 22:6 (NKJV) 6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.

Children are a blessing from God. He expects us, as their parents, to teach them the good and right things to do in life. How to obey, respect, love and pray. This all starts right in the home.

In order to teach them the right things to do, we must experience them ourselves. God will help us as we address things in our own personal lives so that we, in return, can help them learn.

When we have victory over something we go through, we can offer help to others who are in the same boat, so to speak.

Some of us may be seeing some of those same struggles in our children. Most times we can spot it in them even when they are very young. It’s good that we see it, but now we need to help them through it.

We need to ask God to help us get victory over it first so that we can help them.

It’s time to get real. Our children need us and they are worth every bit of the work and time we put into raising them

As we train them up in the way they should go, not only will we be blessed and enjoy them, but they will be a blessing to others all throughout their lives.
