DEUTERONOMY 4:10 (NLT)
He told me, ‘Summon the people before me, and I will personally instruct them. Then they will learn to fear me as long as they live, and they will teach their children to fear me also.’
2 TIMOTHY 3:14-15 (MSG)
Stick with what you learned and believed, sure of the integrity of your teachers—why, you took in the sacred Scriptures with your mother’s milk! There’s nothing like the written Word of God for showing you the way to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
THE ESSENCE
Early and long-term exposure to the scrptures pays off in faith.
DAILY FODDER
Who taught you the Bible at an early age? How are you introducing the children in your life to the written word of God?
PRAYER
Gracious God, I am grateful for the Bible and how it conveys your message. Forgive me for taking it for granted. Give me a vision and the gifts necessary to share your word with those who have not yet had the exposure I've received. I want to stand in the line of faithfulness beside all my Sunday School teachers, youth leaders, mentors, and pastors who have taught me. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
