Daily book quote;
Second, is with our time. Deuteronomy 6 goes on to
say “Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit down at home,
when you walk along the road, when you lie down, and when you get up.” Let me
paraphrase that - “Talk about God and Godly things when you sit down for a
meal, when you sit down for a devotional time with your children; Talk about
God when you are driving along in the car; when you lie down at night and when
you get up in the morning! As often as you can, tell your children about God’s
love and care, and lead them into a relationship with Him!”
Time is a gift that you
can’t get back. You can give money, and always make more. You can give gifts,
and you can receive gifts back. But once time is given, it never comes back. We
only have so much time to give; why not invest it in our children and
grandchildren?We can win the war with our words and with our time, but most of all, we can win the war with our lives. Genesis 18:18-19 says this - “Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him. For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just.” the best example to follow, some may not have had much of a relationship at all with thIn 2ndKings 14:3 it speaks of a king in Israel named Amaziah. “He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord…In everything he followed the example of his father Joash.” Yes, he had a good example to follow in his father…Some of us may not have hadeir father, but this is why the responsibility falls on all of us. We must fight the war for our children and our grandchildren with our words; with our time; and by our example!
