DAILY?READINGS: 2 Samuel 7; Nahum 2-3; Romans 14:1-18

Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul…And ye shall teach them your children. Deuteronomy 11:18-19

The young men sat around a beer keg where we were handing out gospel invitations. They greeted us warmly and said something that has stuck in my mind. It was, “We remember the songs you taught us in Sunday School”. They were home from overseas, but they remembered those songs’ words. It made me realize just how important it is that the songs we teach children contain the fundamental truths of the gospel. How essential it also is that we teach our own children and grandchildren the truths of the Bible. —Janet Fleming

Lord, help me teach children, while they are still small,
To trust You and to serve You, and to give to You their all.
—J. Fleming
