We want you to CONNECT with God through His Word, Prayer, & Worship.
Today, call out to Him in prayer. Ask Him to "open your eyes" as you read through the scripture.
As you observe the scripture, we encourage you to take notes.
Notice the emotions, reasons, and context. Make sure to note what God wants you to know or do after reading the scripture.
And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.
- Deuteronomy 6:6-7
There's a profound difference between teaching information and transforming lives. The difference isn't in the content - it's in the credibility of the messenger. When our lives align with our words, people don't just hear what we're saying; they see it working. This principle is especially crucial in our homes. Children have an uncanny ability to detect authenticity. They watch how we handle stress, disappointment, and conflict. They notice whether our private prayers match our public proclamations. They observe if our faith makes us more patient, more generous, more forgiving. Credibility doesn't require perfection. In fact, our children need to see us struggle and fail sometimes. What they need most is to witness how people who love Jesus handle struggles differently than the world does. They need to see us repent when we're wrong, forgive when we're hurt, and trust God when circumstances are uncertain. This credible faith begins with what happens in our hearts before it flows through our words. Just as Moses instructed parents to first embed God's commands in their own hearts, we must live what we hope to pass on. Our children will catch our authentic devotion far more readily than our perfect performance. When faith is credible at home, it becomes transferable. When it's merely informational, it often dies with the next generation. The goal isn't to have all the answers but to demonstrate that God's Word truly governs our lives, bringing order where there might otherwise be chaos.
Explore & examine the areas of your life that God needs to come under the truth. Take a moment to commit & surrender these areas in prayer.
After, tell and share with others what God is teaching you! Try this:
*Share your encouraging takeaways with others on your social media, or share your story with us. We want to celebrate with you!
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
- 1 John 1:9
