Good Wednesday Afternoon Blog Family. Thank You Jesus for bringing us half way through the week, safe and blessed. Praise God.
I have three very important questions to ask you this afternoon. Are you teaching your children or are you allowing the world to teach them? Do you instill the Word of God in them or are you allowing the world to fill them with all of it’s junk? Are you doing your part as a parent to equip and protect your children at school and wherever else they may be, with the Word of God?
People talk about how we need to get the Bible back into our schools. Well, if you are teaching and filling your children with the Word of God. Giving them a scripture to learn each week, then the Bible is in our schools through your children. If parents would take the time and make sure their children are equipped for spiritual warfare, our schools would be so awesome. Spiritual warfare to me is anything coming against God’s Word or His children. Which comes in the form of bullying, racism, abusive teachers, and so on.
As parents we pray for, with and over our children every day. We also as parents need to fill them with some of that Word. Give them a scripture every week to memorize. They may not be able to have a physical Bible with them at school, but it can be on the inside of them at all times. Being able to pull out that scripture when they need to. Yes, they have the Bible apps on their phones, but they may not be able to use their phones when they need a scripture to stand on.
What are you allowing your children to set before their eyes (tv) and put into their ears (music) after school? Is it things that glorify God or the devil? Do you even pay attention to any of these things? Parents, your children are your responsibility. Proverbs 22:6 reads, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” So, take some time each week and start filling your child up with some scripture, God’s Word. It will not only help and direct them as children, young adults going into college and adults going into the world as well.
Now, this week school will be out for the summer. Make sure your children have safe and fun summer vacations, also make sure they are reading their Bibles as well. We as adults and parents know how important to Word of God is in our every day lives. Well, we should also know how important it is to impart that same Word of God in our children’s every day lives. Take some time and sit down with your children and grandchildren and talk to them about Jesus and make sure they know what He did for them. Make sure they know who God and His Holy Spirit is and how they affect their lives. Allow them to see you pray with things are good and when things are bad. Allow them to see how you obey the Word of God and follow where He leads you.
Don’t be one of those parents that depends on the school system to raise your children. They are only there to teach your child and to make sure they get a good education. It is your job as the parent to raise your children and bring them up in the Word of God. We as parents have a part to do and God has a part to do. Just make sure you do your part because God will definitely do His part. God Bless 🙂
Prayer
Father God, we come to You in the Name of Jesus as Your children, as humble as we know how. Giving You all of the honor, praise and glory that belongs to You. We come to You asking You to help us be the parents to our children that you expect us to be. Teaching them about Your Word and how to seek You in all things, no matter what. Help our children to want to get to know You and be obedient and follow You always. Thank You for all that You do in our lives and the lives of our children. Amen.
