God on your hearts
In the book of Deuteronomy we read,
"Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
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."Deuteronomy 6:5-7.
I believe the most important thing we can pass on to our children is our love for God. A life based on the love of God may go through many trials and tribulations, but if your life is founded on the love of God, you will always have hope. In Psalm 23 we read,
The LORD is my shepherd,
I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads me beside quiet waters,
He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for You are with me;
Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
Psalm 23
Do you share your faith in God, your faith in Christ with your children?
Is God first in your life?
Please think about it.
