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.”

Luke 18:16 (NKJV) 16 But Jesus called them to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.

Most times, we teach our children how to be responsible, but we neglect to teach them how to be accountable. Accountability to God is so important, even at such an early stage in life.

Let’s face it. Mom and Dad can’t be everywhere. But God can, and if we teach them to trust in Him and go to Him for everything, this will help them throughout their whole lives.

How do we teach our kids about this? We start by training them how to pray and to seek God for personal answers for their little concerns they may have.

They can learn at an early age how to pray for the right friends to be around. They can pray and ask God for help in making the right decisions throughout their day. Maybe they are struggling in certain areas when it comes to listening and doing what they are told. Or maybe they have an answer back for everything.

They need to know what God says about this in His word and to listen to how He says to correct it.

Kids are smart. They understand more than we realize. And sometimes they can fool us. Teaching them to be accountable, even at times when they may be trying to sneak one by us, will also cause them to have to deal with the conviction of their heavenly Daddy.

It’s amazing how quickly they learn. You think they aren’t paying attention. But then out of the clear blue sky they’ll repeat something you shared with them or said to them at one time or another.

So don’t get discouraged, Moms, Dads, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and teachers. Keep it going! Teach them to have accountability with the One who will keep them safe from harm.
