Teaching our children to love the Lord is one of the first commandments from Father God. “You shall love the Lord your God with all of your heart, with all your soul and with all of your strength. And these words that I command you today shall be in your heart. 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. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates” (Deuteronomy 6:5-9). Imparting a godly heritage has more competition now than ever. In the age of technology that we live in, everything is broken down into sound bytes. The average child has already spent hundreds of hours in front of televisions, computers and video games. Our best way of communicating the love of God to our children is to do just that, love them. As we demonstrate the love of God in our own lives, we are sowing into our children’s lives. This scripture gives just the right instruction to accomplish this. We are to teach them, talk about what God has done in our lives, share the Word of God and be consistent. Every day there are wondrous things to share about the Kingdom of God. Don’t be intimidated by the world of technology, just plug your children into the Creator of the World.
