From my morning devotion:
Genesis 22:18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
also:
Proverbs 4:20-22 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
What kind of seed are you raising? Are you raising a blessing or a curse. Have you taught them that God rewards obedience?
Matthew 22:36-39 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
This is the beginning of training. Love of the Lord and of neighbor is where we are expected to start.
Lord, help us to raise children who will be a blessing to all who know them. Keep your commandments in their hearts. In Jesus name, Amen.
