Deuteronomy 11:18-19
Fix these words of mine in your hearts . . . Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home” (NIV).
Prayer: Thank the Lord for your children, acknowledging that they are gifts from Him. Ask Him for the strength and faith to teach your children how to trust and obey as they watch you trust and obey. Ask Him to increase your hunger for His word and create a hunger in your children as well.
Action: This week, as the time seems right, ask your children, “Who do Mom and Dad trust and follow the most in life?” and, if they are old enough to understand your commitment to love and respect, ask them how they think you are doing. (For discussion questions, see page 260 in Appendix A.)
