Bible Verse of The Day – 3-22-22

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.

Train up a child in the way they should go.

This responsibility has been placed solely in the hands of parents.

It’s big!

But God will not leave us on our own to do this. He will guide us through every step with His manual to life, His Word, the Bible.

He can only help us if we are reading it.

There are days when we may not want to because of everything else pulling on us. We are just so busy.

As we let other things creep in and we neglect to stay in the Word of God, things will get harder for us and our children will suffer.

We will try to make the right decisions for our children, but fail at times and wonder why.

Many times it’s because we lack what comes from God’s word.

It gives us strength. It gives us wisdom. It gives us encouragement. It gives us direction for both, us as the parents, and our children.

When we have children in our home, we need it. We are on a mission. And raising godly children in this day and age is a mission in and of itself, more so than ever before!

It is a daily fight to keep our kids in line and on track. It’s a fight some days just to keep ourselves in line and on track.

But here’s a gentle reminder; if we don’t keep them in the word of God, they will not do it themselves. We have to be the ones.

Parents, feed them God’s word. We get just so much time with them to do this and then they go out on their own. Let us invest our time into our babes. And then when they leave home, it’s in them.

It’s all God asks of us to do for them. And then we get to enjoy the fruit of it!

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-4-18

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.

Children; what beautiful little blessings they are.

We all know that every child is different. Some are aggressive and outgoing. Some are quiet and very content. While some are loud and boisterous. They are all very different in the little person that they are.

Each one has their strengths, and they also have their weaknesses. Most times, we as their parents recognize the areas where they will probably need help before anyone else does.

It’s so important, if we notice an area that they are weak in, that we don’t neglect it or ignore it. We can’t try to make up excuses for them. If we do, it may affect them for the rest of their lives. They will take what we have said to them and hold on to it, and it will become their crutch.

We need to teach our children to face their weaknesses. Steer them toward God even at a young age, and they will see that He is faithful and He takes the time to help even the little ones.

God is good. He will even meet our children where they are at and speak to their little hearts.

They can be strong too, through Christ who strengthens us all.

Philippians 4:13 (NKJV) 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-7-16

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.

It is time to shut the TV and the phones off. Put the games and the toys away. Sit down and share all the great and wonderful truths of the Bible with our babies, toddlers and teens.

Some of us may be afraid to teach our kids about the Bible. Maybe we think it is too late to start this up in our home. We will just let them learn it on their own when they can pick and choose what they want. Wrong!

For one, it is our responsibility. And two, It is never too late to start something new, especially if we know it will help them.

Oh we can bet that we may get some fussing, bucking and kicking. Nevertheless, we should stand our ground and do what is right in God’s eyes.

All kids need to know and learn the truth. And honestly, they do want it. They just won’t tell us that. We need to take the initiative.

Pray about this and let God lead you on how to present it in your home. If it is new and something they are not used to, introduce it ahead of time, letting them know that you will be starting it up soon, and just pick a time. You may feel inadequate about teaching your children, especially if you yourself aren’t sure about some things. Don’t let this stop you.

Start by teaching them the things you are sure about. Maybe something that stands out the most in your walk with God. Kids just want to know the TRUTH.

Talk to them, pray with them, show them how to reach God on their own.

My little Grandson started at a very young age. He would just go in his room and you could hear him talking to God.

Time had gone by and one day I felt like I needed to ask Him, “have you been talking to God recently?”. He said, “not really”. I said, “well, do you know God waits to hear from you? You better say hello and let Him know what’s on your heart”. He said, “OK I will. I just get busy playing with my toys sometimes”.

These are words that we can all admit too. We just get busy. But it was so good to hear him speak the truth. God knows we do get distracted from time to time. But what He loves is that we don’t give up, that we get back on track.

We only have so much time with our kids and before we blink, they are adults and on their own.
