Here in the US, it’s Labor Day, a day to honor American workers. Teaching our children is job #1.
Deuteronomy 11:18-19 (TLB)
So keep these commandments carefully in mind. Tie them to your hand to remind you to obey them, and tie them to your forehead between your eyes! Teach them to your children. Talk about them when you are sitting at home, when you are out walking, at bedtime, and before breakfast!
So, how’s your job performance? Are you meeting expectations?
Good morning, Lord. It’s my job, I know, to teach the next generation about You — to teach my children, my grandchildren, any children within my circle of influence. Forgive me for passing the responsibility on to others, thinking an hour of Sunday School a week is enough. If You are the center of my life, if all I do revolves around You, teaching the next generation is a 24/7 thing.
Give me wisdom, give me strength, give me perseverance. Grant me the right words and the right opportunities.
