Mothers and Grandmothers… do you desire to impact the children in your life with family values in an increasingly demoralized culture? See below for details…
2 Corinthians 11:14
In many homes a thief is loose…
Gary Smalley and John Trent write in their book, The Blessing, that this thief has a name.
It’s name is over activity. He masquerades as “fulfillment,” “accomplishment,” or “success.” Smalley and Trent write, “The time for godly training is often crowded out by a busy schedule.”
I must confess, that I have fallen victim to this thief. It’s so easy to entrust the spiritual development of our children to the Christian school or to the great children’s program or youth group at church.
Yet, this is not what God’s Word says we are to do.
Deuteronomy 6:6-7 – “These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.”
We as parents and grandparents are commanded to be intentional with our children.
Yet before we can teach our children, notice what the Word says. (above in bold) A love for God’s Word and a reverential fear of His commands… must be upon our own hearts first.
It starts with us!
Are YOU spending time each day cultivating your relationship with Jesus through Bible reading and prayer? Or has the thief named, “Over activity” stolen your time?
Be intentional girlfriend. Get to your quiet time area. Take back what the enemy is trying to steal: the very heart and soul of our children.
