When we observe our children exhibiting godly traits and character, we feel a deep sense of pride and say to ourselves, and perhaps to others, that we are well pleased with what they are doing. We are called to teach our children diligently, imparting to them the words of God, guiding them with perseverance, consistency, and planning. This teaching should occur every day at a set time and place, with a specific purpose, ensuring that it is brief and impactful for young children, perhaps through a memory verse or a relatable story that illustrates God's protection and righteousness. Beyond formal teaching, we must engage in constant conversation with our children, talking and listening to them when we sit in the house, walk by the way, lie down, and rise up, integrating these interactions into every facet of life. This casual dialogue, whether during household tasks or shared activities, allows us to understand their thoughts and feelings, offering guidance from our own experiences and the wisdom of God's Word when appropriate. Spending time with them, especially with teenagers who face worldly pressures, is crucial to counter negative influences and reinforce godly values. As parents, we have a unique opportunity to shape our children by our example, showing them the joy and happiness that come from living God's way. By loving them, giving them our full attention, and prioritizing their needs above distractions, we demonstrate that they are valued. If we diligently teach them, revealing the greatness of God's Kingdom and the benefits of applying His laws through our consistent and sincere actions, our children will not be turned off by these teachings. We provide them with a wall of protection, a faith in God that shields them from the selfishness and false ideas of the world. If we do not teach our children the way of God, who will?
