Teaching our children

As I read today’s passage, I couldn’t help thinking that Solomon was recalling what God had told the Israelites in Deuteronomy 11:18-19.

Not only did Solomon treasure God’s word in his heart, he taught his son to do the same.

The question is, do we?

God has given us the responsibility to teach his Word to our children. This isn’t the responsibility of their Sunday school teachers. And it isn’t the responsibility of their teachers at school.

The sad truth is, the morals our children are being taught at school may not always be in line with God’s teaching.

When what their teachers and their friends teach them differs from what God teaches in his Word, do our children know the difference? That’s our responsibility.

Let us not only treasure God’s word in our own hearts. Let us also teach our children to do so as well.
