Teach Your Children!

For Tuesday, September 27, 2022:

Deuteronomy 11:2 NLT: “Keep in mind that I am not talking now to your children, who have never experienced the discipline of the Lord your God or seen his greatness and his strong hand and powerful arm.”

The Lord had called Moses to lead the Hebrew slaves out of Egypt. They had all seen the plagues, the miracles and the defeat of the mighty Egyptian army. They understood the greatness of God. But by this time, the rescued have had children of their own, children who were not alive during God’s rescue, and they need to be taught everything about God – his miracles, his provision, his love and caring for those who worship him.

We teach our children to read and write. We enroll them in schools to learn mathematics and science. We must also get our children up to speed on everything about God. Your Bible is your textbook.

Teach your children about creation. Teach them God’s repeated rescue of his people. Teach them about love, forgiveness and redemption through the Son of God, Jesus the Christ. Watch with delight as they become “Children of God!”

Guide your children into the Holy Family!
