TEACH YOUR
CHILDREN WELL

READ:
Deuteronomy 11:13-21
___________________________________________________

You shall teach [God's
Word] to your children
...when you sit in your
house, when you walk
by the way, when you
lie down, and when you
rise up. __Deut. 11:19
___________________________________________________

The Sleeping Beauty Waltz, the 1812 Overture, and The Nutcracker Suite were all part of the music of my childhood.

Sometimes a narrator told stories or--as in the case of Tubby the Tuba and peter and the Wolf--introduced my sisters and me to the sounds of different instruments. In their desire to pass on their love for music, my parents used this method as a teaching tool. It worked! Weaving the classic tales with classical tunes made a powerful impact on us.

When an adult wants to impart important information to a child, it's often best related in a story because it is more easily understood and enjoyed. Telling children the stories in God's Word is especially crucial because the Bible's enduring truth can shape character and show consequences of actions (1. Cor. 10:11). Tiny seeds of faith can be cultivated in fertile soil and help children to see how God has worked in the lives of His followers throughout history. Bible stories also show how God is intimately involved in our lives.

What we have seen God do for us and what He has done for His people throughout history must be passed on to the next generation (Deut. 11:1-21). Their future depends on it. Teach your children well. __Cindy Hess Kasper

The character of your children tomorrow
depends on what you put into their hearts today.

***********Today's Bible Reading __ deuteronomy 11:13-21*********

13 And it shall be that if you
earnestly obey My
commandments which I
command you today, to love
the LORD your God and serve
Him with all your heart and
with all your soul, 14 then I
will give you the rain for
your land in its season, the
early rain and the latter rain,
that you may gather in your
grain, your new wine, and
your oil. 15 And I will send
grass in your fields for your
livestock, that you may eat
and be filled. 16 Take heed to
yourselves, lest your heart be
deceived, and you turn aside
and serve other gods and
worship them, 17 lest the
LORD's anger be aroused
against you, and He shuts up
the heavens so that there be
no rain, and the land yield no
produce, and you perish
quickly from the good land
which the LORD is giving
you.

18 Therefore you shall lay
up these words of mine in
your heart and in your soul,
and bind them as a sign on
your hand, and they shall be
as frontlets between your
eyes. 19 You shall teach them
to your children, speaking of
them when you sit in your
house, when you walk by the
way, when you lie down, and
when you rise up. 20 And you
shall write them on the
doorposts of your house and
on your gates, 21 that your
days and the days of your
children may be multiplied in
the land of which the LORD
swore to your fathers to give
them, like the days of the
heavens above the earth.

Chapter 11 summarizes basic commands found earlier in
Deuteronomy. Despite the strong emphasis on the law, the heart
of the book teaches how obedience is characterized by a loving
relationship with God (v.13). The obedient person experiences
intimacy with God and His provision. __DENNIS FISHER

The character of your children tomorrow depends on what you put into their hearts today.

It is so sad to realize all the pain in this world. Parents find themselves so lost in the worldly crud that they fail to share His way with their children, those children grow up.... lost and eventually have children of their own, the cycle continues....
I know this didn't just begin, but the effects of this vicious cycle are what fuel much of the problems in the world today. I cannot imagine the heartache it causes Papa.

Awesome Post Sister Cimi!!!
Thanks for taking the time to share!!!

See you tomorrow!!

Peace and Luv in Christ,

Lani
