Children serving God

God gives us the promise that our children, spouse and parents will serve the Lord. 


Deu 6:6-10 GW  Take to heart these words that I give you today.  (7)  Repeat them to your children. Talk about them when you're at home or away, when you lie down or get up.  (8)  Write them down, and tie them around your wrist, and wear them as headbands as a reminder.  (9)  Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.  (10)  The LORD your God will bring you into the land and give it to you, as he swore to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This land will have large, prosperous cities that you didn't build.


Pro 22:6 CEV  Teach your children right from wrong, and when they are grown they will still do right.

Jos 24:15 CEV  But if you don't want to worship the LORD, then choose right now! Will you worship the same idols your ancestors did? Or since you're living on land that once belonged to the Amorites, maybe you'll worship their gods. I won't. My family and I are going to worship and obey the LORD!


As we see our loved ones not following Jesus, we can get emotionally distracted and try and get them to serve Lord in our own strength.

I know that this is probably one of the most difficult periods in your life to see your children not serving the Lord. But this is the time where we must stand and trust God’s word. Your children will serve the Lord if you allow them to come to God. It is simple mind change that you have to make.
