Marriage and Family Life Reading Planنموونە

Give Your Children God’s Vision

Our assignment as parents is not only to impart to our kids our knowledge of God, but also to give them a vision for their world. That’s what Joshua did, “Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”

You do this just as Joshua did it. Pray for your children, that God’s plan for their lives will be fulfilled. Also, give them a vision for the world. How? When you come home from work, tell them stories about how God showed up and is changing lives at your place of employment.

When you go on family vacations, look for ways on the road to get them involved in God’s kingdom work.

You and I are a part of a generational relay race in which we must make a good handoff to the next generation. Remember, your marriage and family are the headwaters of your legacy. What occurs downstream in history with your kids will flow only as strong as the source at home.
