DAILY?READINGS: Numbers 1; Psalms 144-145; Mark 11:27 to 12:17
And these words… shall be in thine heart… thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest… when thou walkest… when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. Deuteronomy 6:6-7
The Word of God was not only to be taught to their children, but the Israelites were to give it the most prominent place in every aspect of family life. The reason is given in vs. 12, “that they might not forget the Lord” when they faced so many new and even “good” things in the Promised Land. Are we preparing our children to face the “things” of this world by making God’s Word prominent in their lives?—David Croudace
O give us homes where Christ is Lord and Master,
Where prayer comes first, in peace or in disaster. —Barbara B. Hart
