How important?
In the book of Deuteronomy we read,
“Here, O Israel: The Lord our God is one.
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
These commandments that I give to 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, and when you lie down and when you get up.
Tie them as a symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.
Write them on the doorframes of your house and on your gates.” Deuteronomy 6:4-9.
In proverbs we read,
That being said we should be teaching them to use wisdom and common sense also. After all God gave us wisdom and common sense to use.
Still trust in God should be so much a part of our everyday life that both in word and in deed, something we do it for lack of a better term, without thinking about it.
Saying a quick prayer silently or audibly should be second nature to us, whether that prayer is for something we need, or praising God.
In Jewish culture Deuteronomy 6:4-9 is called “The Shema” and is recited in some households first thing in the morning and last thing at night.
In Christians culture there is no expectation of reciting this portion of scripture. However doing such a thing with a pure heart is a good thing. It reminds us of just who God is.
By reciting it morning and evening shows us how important God is in our life. Important enough that He is the first one we speak to of in the morning and last one we speak to at night.
Thus my question to you. How important is God in your life? And. Do you show how important God is in your life to your children in word and in deed?
Please think about it.

In proverbs we read,
“Train a child in the way he should go,
and when he is old he will not turn from it.”
Proverbs 22:6.
I firmly believe we should be teaching our children to worship God. We should be teaching them to trust God no matter what happens. They need to know that God is in control even in uncertain times.That being said we should be teaching them to use wisdom and common sense also. After all God gave us wisdom and common sense to use.
Still trust in God should be so much a part of our everyday life that both in word and in deed, something we do it for lack of a better term, without thinking about it.
