Our Kids Can Be Doers
Proverbs 9:1 says that “Wisdom has built her house;”
Both wisdom and folly have a house, and all of our children are invited to visit.
Our kids, throughout their time in our home, will be faced with a barrage of choices. At that moment, it’s not just choosing between right and wrong, but it’s the ability to put into practice what they’ve been taught.
Jesus taught us in Matthew 7 that having a house that is built upon the rock, or a house built on sand depends completely upon what we do with God’s Word.
As parents, it’s important that we make sure our children not only hear God’s Word, but that we help them to become doers of what they hear. James 1:22 says “Be be doers of God’s Word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.”
Training our children means we insure that God’s truth is being taught in our home, and that it is also being lived out at home and in the lives of our kids.
Parents can help their children to have secure, stable lives by teaching them to become doers of God’s Word at home.
