The Bible says,
My child, listen when your father corrects you. Don't neglect your mother's instruction. What you learn from them will crown you with grace and be a chain of honor around your neck. (Proverbs 1:8,9 New Living Translation)
A cry has gone out all around America. Where are the parents? Most children today are orphans. Either they don't have one parent or the other, or they are neglected by their parents. The parents feel their children will not listen and they abandon teaching to other.
God intended instruction to be passed down from parents to their children. Just because we have schools does not mean we leave all the teaching to them. There are some things that still need to be taught by parents. One of those things is love. Why we love, how to love, who we love, are just a few examples that parents need to teach their children.
It is not too late to pass on to our children the real lessons they need to learn. We need to remember their future depends on it.
Lord God,
Help us hide your word in our hearts, so we will not sin.
