Notes of Faith January 31, 2025
Diligently
And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up.
Deuteronomy 6:6-7, NLT
“Let me show you this Bible verse I found today!”
That simple statement—or one like it—may be the single most effective tool for training our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. It’s personal, conversational, Scripture-based, and meaningful. We’re to be personally committed to reading God’s Word, and as we uncover its great truths, we should share them with our children, at home or on the road, when getting up or going to bed.
This doesn’t require a Bible college education or a seminary degree. It’s not just for ministers and missionaries. It’s the great privilege of every parent and grandparent to share from the overflow of our hearts and minds.
To return to the Scriptures, we must all take responsibility for our family’s spiritual and emotional health and well-being. Decide today to strengthen your family through the study of God’s Word.
When we help the younger generation to love, serve, and honor God, we…welcome the blessings of God into generations to follow.

Prov 3:5-6
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.
Ps 1:1-3
1 How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the path of sinners,
Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
3 He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season
And its leaf does not wither;
And in whatever he does, he prospers.
Being in the Word of God every day will make your day better and those that you interact with throughout the day because you did. The Holy Spirit will bring Scriptures to your mind that you may use them for your benefit and the benefit of those around you. May you be blessed by the Word you read and meditate on today!
