4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. –Deut. 6:4-5
In Part I, I asked the question, “if you were on your death bed and you had one last thing to pass on to your loved ones, what would you say?
Would you encourage your loved ones to love the Lord and follow Him closely? Would it burn in your heart to see them saved? What instructions could you give them to keep Him (God) on their minds?
I think I can help; well, Moses can,
6 “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. –Deut. 6:6-9
Why wait until you are on
your deathbed? Why not start teaching them today?
The statistics showing our
young people leaving the church today is staggering. Many of today’s young
people don’t find God relevant; even those who grow up in Christian homes.
Quite simply, we are failing our children. Please, I beg you, consider these
things and pray about them; make it a priority to instruct your little ones
(and everyone). Then you will fulfill the call to:
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with
all your strength.”
God bless~
