Sorry about not posting a devotion yesterday. My 14 year old son, Eric is on Spring break so we went fishing yesterday on the Tennessee River. It made me do some think while I was out there with him. When we have children we have been blessed by God.
Psalm 127:4-5
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;
They shall not be ashamed,
But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.
Our children should be one of the highest priorities of our life! So many times they get put on the back burner. My friends this should not be so! God has given us a great responsibility in raising his creation. Just think about that for a moment. God has also told us in His Word how important it is to be involved in teaching our children about HIM:
Deuteronomy 6:6-8
6 “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
How often do we teach our children about God...according to the word it should be often.
So this morning I want you to think about the gifts and responsibilities God has given you in your children. I got to pray with my son before we went fishing and we had a great day. God blessed Eric with a two bass on one cast. Made his day and mine. Memories we will never forget!
