Power Read The Bible In 60 Days With Jeff AndersonУзорак

Day 9 PAY ATTENTION, PARENTS [Scheduled Reading: Deuteronomy 1-15] For parents with children at home, today’s reading offers us a special challenge. The words of Deuteronomy were delivered by Moses at the very end of a 40-year season of wilderness-craziness - just before the Israelites enter the promised land. Moses reminds the Israelites to teach God’s Words to their children. It’s almost as if he knew they wouldn’t (he knew them well) and that particular disasters would follow if they took their eyes off God and His Word. If there’s one theme that repeats throughout the Old Testament, it’s how mankind continues to fall back in touch with their rebellious nature. No matter how miraculous God’s rescue and deliverance is, and how genuine the people’s response of repentance and forgiveness, God’s children seem to drift again... and again. Pay attention to Moses’ charge to parents in Deuteronomy, Chapters 4, 6 and 11. Here’s the one in chapter 6. “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 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 6:4-7 (Tough to do this without reading His Word ourselves, right?)
