Bible Verse of The Day – 7-31-18

Matthew 19:14 (NKJV) 14 But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”

Children are very special to Jesus. He says in this verse, let them come to Me, do not forbid them.

As parents, one thing we know is that when kids are little we can help them in so many ways. They will look up to us and listen. And most of the time they will obey what we say.

They stand by every word Mommy and Daddy say as being true.

This is the time to help them by molding them and teaching them truth. Kids want the truth!

It doesn’t mean they won’t stray at times throughout their lives. They may try different things, but our voices will remain in their ears as authorities.

Direct our children to Jesus and His truth. Take time out of our busyness and theirs. Don’t let them run us around causing us to be too tired to sit with them. Talk, share and show them how to get to Jesus.

They will follow.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-10-18

Proverbs 22:6 (NKJV) 6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.

Our children will not learn about the good things of God, or the right way to live, if we don’t teach them or point them in the right direction. As parents, this is our responsibility.

One day, when our children were small, a conversation arose about Jesus. They had been raised in the church and were going to Sunday school at the time.

We talked about Jesus and Who He is. And it was on that day that they both put their faith in Him. When we prayed with them, as little as their understanding was, Jesus met them. They both had tears streaming down their little faces and they begin to shake with excitement.

It was the most amazing thing a parent could witness. We knew that day that they had met Him personally in their little hearts, and He became their Savior.

Kids want to know and we have to teach them. We have to help them and train them in their walk with God.

Some parents teach their children of Santa Claus, the fairy godmother and the Easter bunny. They go all out and enjoy every minute of it. These are stories that have been made up. There is no truth in them, but yet parents will push it on their kids and make it fun for them.

But, when it comes to God and His Son, the most beautiful, true love to be portrayed, they have a hard time sharing it with them when they are little.

Today is a reminder, we must train up our children in the way they should go. Put away the distractions and sit with them. Read to them, pray with them and share with them the things that He has done for us and what He will do for them if they too walk with Him.

Give them a chance to have a relationship with Someone that will help them throughout their whole life. Someone that will never leave them.

Hebrews 13:5 (NKJV) 5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-7-17

1 Samuel 2:2 (NKJV) 2 “No one is holy like the Lord, For there is none besides You, Nor is there any rock like our God.

Growing up on a farm, we had a lot of fun. But, amongst all the fun, there were those things that came at certain times that hit hard. And we had to work through those things that are “a part of life”.

Mom and Dad never hid things from us kids. We were open with one another. If someone was in trouble or struggling through something, we all knew it. And we all felt it.

Each of us children had our things that we were going through. Some a little more than others. But, in it all, Mom and Dad were there for each one of us, no matter what it was, big or small.

There were 9 of us, and I’m sure for them it was tiring. But we never did hear them complain. To this day, the one thing that stands out to me in spite of all of our imperfections, mistakes and errors, was the love and faith they showed us through their actions. I believe that is what held us all together.

We were brought up having faith. It was important to our parents to lay down the foundation and get us off on the right track. We were not a perfect family. And I think it’s safe to say we had some wildness and craziness in our blood, for sure. But in all that, we do stick together.

And each one of us, in our own unique way, has something to offer. We have learned to respect the good in each other, and pray, not talk, about the stuff that is messed up.

There is no other foundation like the One our parents gave to us. Our Rock, our God and our Lord. He will never leave us.

We weren’t rich with material things. But we were rich in love and faith. On the Solid Rock we hold dearly. Amen.
