“Direct your children onto the right path and, when
they are older, they will not leave it.” — Proverbs 22:6
NLT
Other translations read, “Train up a child in the way
he should go and, when he is old, he will not depart
from it.”
The bottom line is, when we are children, we need
to be taught right from wrong. Our parents are our
first teachers. I can remember being two years old, on
my knees, saying my bedtime prayers. When I could
read, at 5 years old, I liked reading my children’s Bible
stories. Now I like reading the whole Bible.
I am older now, but I departed from it for awhile, like
most teens and young adults do when they are looking
for their own identity, and figuring out who they are. .
I found all the exciting things of the world that I
THOUGHT I wanted, really weren’t good for me. They
made me feel a tug-of—war between what I wanted,
and what God wanted for me. And they hurt me. But
the important thing is I had a foundation. I had God’s
“instructions” in my heart.
King David said, in Psalm 40:8, “I take joy in doing
your will, my God, for your instructions are written on
my heart.”
God has instructions, or laws, we need to follow—.
that is why He gave us 10 commandments to help us!

They teach us how to love and honor God, and love
and respect people.
It is SO important to God that Jesus was talking about
them in Matthew 5. He said He did not come to get
rid of them, but to accomplish their purpose. In verses
18—19, He adds, “I tell you the truth, until heaven
and earth disappear, not even the smallest detail of
God’s law will disappear until its purpose is achieved.
So if you ignore the least commandment, and teach
others to do the same, you will be called the least in
the Kingdom of Heaven. But anyone who obeys God’s
laws and teaches them will be called great in the
Kingdom of Heaven.”
He went even further in Matthew 18. The disciples
asked Jesus, “Who is greatest in the Kingdom of
Heaven?”
In verses 2-6, Jesus responds. He calls a little child
to Him, and put the child among them: He said, “I
tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and
become like little children, you will never get into
the Kingdom of Heaven. So anyone who becomes as
humble as‘this little child is greatest in the Kingdom of
heaven. And anyone who welcomes a little child like
this on My behalf is welcoming Me. But, if you cause
one of these little ones who trusts in Me to fall into
sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone
tied around your neck, and be drowned in the depths
of the sea.”
That’s pretty harsh! That means it’s VERY important
we teach our children, when they are young! And it
means you children will teach your children, when
you growup!
The school year started last month. Everyone goes to
school to become educated. I have always said I was
in the School of God. I want to be educated. I want
to be taught by Jesus. He knows better than we do
what God wants from us! And we have our ‘spiritual
mirrors’ to look into, and see if we are following what
Jesus is teaching.
And Jesus will reward us for our faithfulness when He
comesllHe says, “Look, I am coming soon, bringing
my reward with me to repay all people according to
their deeds. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First
and the Last,-the Beginning and the End.” Revelation
22:12—13
I can’t wait to see Him! How about YOU?
