Good Wednesday Morning. I pray everyone had a blessed night sleep, sweet sleep and rest in the Lord. Proverbs 3:24 reads, “When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.”
I have three very important questions to ask you this morning. 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 in everyday life, 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. Equip your children with scripture and keep them armed and ready with the Word of God.
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. Whenever they need a scripture, if it is in them the Holy Spirit will bring to mind the one they need at the time they need it.
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, but as adults going into college and into the world as well. God Bless 🙂
Prayer
Father God, we come to You in the Mighty Name of Jesus, Your Son and our Lord and Savior. Giving You all of our praises and thanksgiving, that is righty Yours. We look to You to help us equip our children on the journey that has been set before them, no matter what age they may be. Lord, lead and direct our children in the way that You would have them go and keep them protected at all time. Thank You and Amen.
