Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Moisés nos da tres mensajes cruciales en cuanto a los mandamientos de Dios. Primero, como padres, es nuestra responsabilidad enseñárselos a nuestros hijos; no la del gobierno, las escuelas ni las iglesias. En segundo lugar, debemos enseñarles en el curso de la vida diaria mientras cumplimos con los quehaceres. Finalmente, debemos enseñarles constantemente tanto con nuestras palabras como con nuestras vidas. Ahora, podemos mirar esto como un trabajo, una dura responsabilidad o podemos verlo como una oportunidad de moldear una vida al servicio de Dios y hace una diferencia eterna al reino de Dios ¡Que alegría ser parte de esta asociación!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Moses gives us three crucial messages about God's commandments that were given to Moses for the people of God.
- As parents, it is our responsibility to teach God's commandments to our children — not the responsibility of the government, schools, or even our churches. While we hope these will reinforce our values, it is our responsibility as parents!
- We are to teach God's commandments in the everyday course of life as we go about our routines as a family. This organic teaching method should be built into our daily way of life and help connect our children with the practical application of God's commands.
- We are to teach them continuously by both our words and our example as we seek to raise our children to honor God and his holy values.
Now we can look at teaching God's commands to our children as a job, a burden, a heavy responsibility, or we can see it as an opportunity to shape a life for the future and partner with God in raising a child to be a person who will make an eternal difference for the Kingdom of God. What a joy to be a part of such a holy, eternal, and influential partnership!
Mi oración
Oh Señor Dios, bendíceme mientras trato de compartir mi fe con los demás, especialmente con mi familia. Bendíceme con un testimonio constante y fiel, con las palabras indicadas en el momento indicado tanto con coraje como con respeto. Que mi vida sea en ejemplo cristiano a mis hijos y nietos. En el nombre de Jesús oro, Amén.
My Prayer...
O Lord God, please bless me as I seek to impart my faith to others, especially to those in my family. Please bless me with a consistent and faithful witness to them. Please have the Holy Spirit give me the right words to say and the wisdom to know when the time is right to say them. Please give me the strength and sensitivity to share your truth with loving respect along with the courage to leave a strong Christian example. May those I influence see my joy in living for you. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
