Train Our Children In The Way They Should Go!

Our children are a gift from God. It doesn't just happen that we have children, because if God hadn't wanted us to have them we certainly would not have them. Now that we do have them we are to love them and take good of their physical needs as well as their spiritual needs. Most of us will do a great job taking care of their physical needs giving them food to eat as well as a roof over their head. But how about their spiritual needs? How do we rate ourselves on the job we are doing?

As parents, we are responsible to teach our children about God. We can do this by having nightly Bible studies and spend time in prayer. There are many children's books that have Bible stories that we can read to our children. Then we can talk about them and explain them to our children. It's never to early to start because our children grow up so fast and we will have let the time slip away. God tells us that we are to train our children in the way they should go.
Proverbs; 22:6
(Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.)

We all talk about how much we love our children, but do we take them to church, do read the Bible to them? Do we set a godly example in our daily walk for them to follow? Children learn so much from what they see their parents doing and how live. We all want our children to be in heaven one day, but are we giving them the tools to learn or are we going to let the world teach them what ever feels good do it?

God has given us the children, but He has also told to teach them.
Ephesians; 6:4
(And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in training and admonition of the Lord.)
We all want what is best for our family and it is our responsibility to lead by example. Let's give our children a godly example to follow.

God Bless You!
