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 – 9-29-17

Ephesians 5:1 (NKJV) 1 Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.

Have we ever watched our children as they grew up, or even now as they are growing up, and sometimes catch them acting the same way we do in certain situations?

They may even have our same mannerisms. That’s right, they act like our little minis.

Why? Because they are imitating what they see us do. Sometimes it’s a good thing. We get all excited and feeling good on the inside. And we think “Aw, look at little Johnny. He’s just like me”.

Then other times, it’s not so good when they are acting the way we do. They may even get in trouble for doing what they are doing, even though we were the ones that taught them to do it that way.

Being God’s children, we should all strive to act like Him. We don’t have to worry when we imitate Him. Everything He does is good, just and RIGHTEOUS!

We can go all out and act like our Heavenly Daddy and it will just trickle down into our children’s lives as well.

Following our earthly fathers may get us into some trouble. Be safe, be sure and imitate the One who is perfect in all He does; Our Heavenly Father!

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-13-16

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.

Children are our responsibility, to teach them and train them each day until they become adults.

The world today has tried to make us believe that both parents need to work in order to live. But it is truly up to us to make this decision.

Having both parents working makes it hard to train and give children what they need at times. Some kids need a lot of time and attention, while others not so much. It doesn’t make them a bad child just because they may need more attention, discipline or constant reminders. It just makes it harder on us if we don’t have the time to give to them.

When our kids were young we both knew that if something was going on with them, a change of attitude, misbehaving, disrespect, etc., we needed to put everything aside and deal with it.

Our children came before work, play or anything else.

Yes, our plans did get thrown off a time or two because of dealing with issues that arose, and sometimes at the worst time.

Having children taught us quickly that plans can go out the window sometimes in order to keep the peace in the home and keep things running smoothly.

We learned that If we pushed the issues aside that we knew we needed to deal with, they didn’t disappear. In fact, they got stronger and louder. And eventually we needed to deal with them. And it may take even longer than if we had dealt with them sooner.

Don’t ignore the problems going on in the home. Don’t try to limit the time you give your children and the issues that arise from time to time. Deal with it and stay with it until you know that it has worked its way OUT.

Remember that what you allow into your home, whether it is a bad attitude, anger, disappointment, spoiled behavior, etc., it will try to dominate and run the home and get its WAY.

Keep an eye on what the children are watching, playing with and listening to and, most importantly, spend some time reading and sharing God’s word and examples of it with them. Pray with them and teach them how to talk to God even at a young age.

Matthew 19:14 (NKJV) 14 But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”

Children are our blessing. Train them, love them and enjoy them.
