Mothers, Teach The Bible and The Things of God Diligently To Your Children

Dearest Mothers,

Are you a godly mother that wants her children to grow up knowing whom they can go to in life's distress and trials?

Do you want to point your children to the only One who can save them and deliver them from, the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life?

If you are that kind of mother then I plead with you to take the Word of God seriously and apply it to your life and in training your children for Him.

How? Follow God, not man. Follow God's word and His teachings. To sum it up, Obey GOD!

Let's take a look at the Word of GOD to see how important this is.

Firstly look at Psalms 78:

"I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings from of old, things that we have heard and known, that our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the LORD, and his might, and the wonders that he has done. He established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers to teach to their children, that the next generation might know them, the children yet unborn, and arise and tell them to their children, so that they should set their hope in God and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments; and that they should not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation whose heart was not steadfast, whose spirit was not faithful to God". (Psa 78:2-8)

We have the Bible to tell us the things of old, "Dark sayings from old."(Here dark means "deep". )

"Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come."(1Co 10:11)
We have the Old Testament and the stories so rich in the power of God for an example to us. (Did you catch that? EXAMPLE TO US.)

Read Wonderful Bible stories to your children. Please avoid the cartoon type character Bible stories, these may impress the child with a feeling of pretending, they simply are not serious. The Word of God and Bible stories should be received with great respect and gravity of mind. An excellent Bible story book for children that I have found is, "The Bible in Picture For Little Eyes." by Kennith Taylor. The older publication is best, which might be found on a used book site.

Do not hide the things of God from your children! Tell the children of how God moved and proved Himself faithful to the Children of GOD in the Bible. Tell them of examples in your own life and others the powerful working of GOD. Speak to them often about it! Read wonderful Missionary stories of how God worked and moved through their lives.

"Only take care, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things that your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. Make them known to your children and your children's children-- (Deu 4:9)
"tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the LORD, and his might, and the wonders that he has done."

We should tell them:
"so that they should set their hope in God and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments; and that they should not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation whose heart was not steadfast, whose spirit was not faithful to God". (Psa 78:2-8)

Oh precious mothers! Please ask God to help you to get a hold of this understanding! IT IS POSSIBLE to teach your children the way of the Lord in this day and age. YES! God would never instruct you to do something that was not reachable. In Him you can do it!

"You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates." (Deu 6:5-9)

Oh I'm so earnest for you!

"For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober."(1Th 5:5-6)

Be sober dear mothers! Follow GOD diligently!
